Hi Thomas, you may want to investigate workflow engines that have already been written. The one I have any experience with is Enhydra Shark. From their website: The Enhydra Shark project delivers a workflow server with a difference. It is an extendable workflow engine framework including a standard implementation completely based on WfMC specifications using XPDL (without any proprietary extensions !) as its native workflow process definition format and the WfMC "ToolAgents" API for serverside execution of system activities. More at http://www.enhydra.org/workflow/shark/index.html (you are in luck too seems like they have updated their entire site just last night, so you can get started using their brand new look and feel!!) They have a mailing list too which you wish to join and where you may get more answers to your questions. > > > Thanks in advance > > Thomas Joseph Regards, Geeta
