FlowRunner Server - Architecture

The software has been uniquely architected for maximum performance while maintaining minimal infrastructure costs.

FlowRunner Server is 100% Java application built from the ground up. It is architected as a true enterprise platform. The software is built on the latest J2EE technologies to ensure maximum flexibility and application server independence.

 

FlowRunner Server is a true web application. The client browser does not require any plugins or ActiveX controls (except for optional PDF and SVG viewers). Besides being a front end for FlowRunner Engine it provides many great features.

  1. FlowRunner Engine is a collection of EJBs that reside inside the application server
     
  2. The engine interfaces with database via JDBC
     
  3. The pluggable data layer is implemented as an XML repository
     
  4. JMS is used internally for all asynchronous operations
     
  5. The engine orchestrates all data and activity auditing

  6. The engine interfaces with the indexing component, via JMS events

  9. The Engine is responsible for task management via other EJBs
     
  10. The FlowRunner Server supports a pluggable form processing functionality (HTML, PDF, Microsoft InfoPath)

  11. All administrative functions, as well as role management are also handled by the FlowRunner Server
     
  12. An optional IIS or Apache web server can be configured for serving static resources. Clients can connect to the application server directly

FlowRunner Server is an open framework that can be customized or extended to be integrated with other applications. The software is written in high quality Java code utilizing JDK 1.4 which can be licensed along with the software.
