DVD Tracking Demo

The DVD Tracking demo uses Web Parts, such as:

Workflow Display by State Web Part
New Workflow with Parameters Web Part

Workflow Display by State Web Part

Figure 1: Workflow Display by State Web Part shows a web page in edit mode. The Display by State Web Part is selected (it is outlined by an orange dashed box). The Edit Properties are shown on the right side of the web page.

The Workflow Name – ‘DVD’ is selected for the States. Typically, each workflow has a different set of states. Workflows selected for the Display by State Web Part must have the same states.
Because the Jetfire language supports inheritance, a base class may be selected and workflows that inherit from the base class and share a common set of states may be displayed in the web part.
This Web Part is particularly useful for this application where the user wants to see the status of a collection of objects at a glance.

New Workflow with Parameters Web Part

Figure 2: New Workflow with Parameters Web Part shows a web page with the web part selected and the Edit Properties displayed on the right side.
Figure 2: New Workflow with Parameters Web Part

This web part is used to instantiate a Jetfire workflow class, i.e. it creates a DVD with a set of pre-defined parameters. (In technical terms, this web part is like a constructor with parameters.)
