We are new to YAWL are interested in using its benefits.
However, we are initially doing our research on feasibility.
First info that we need is some lead/directions to have our external systems (within our network) launch YAWL workflows.
If there are quick and dirty examples out there for us to look at, then that would be great.
Thanks,
Irving
Guidance on Launching Workflow Externally
YAWL offers different interfaces to access it's functions. For starting workflows you would need to create an instance of the IntefaceBClient which has a method for starting cases.
We have already used this method in servlets to start cases by accessing certain webpages, but it can be used in any Java code.
We also have a tutorial that shows how to start cases automatically.

Markus
Updated Tutorial
Just on this note, the tutorial regarding launching a case has just been updated.'
Now there is already a pre-packaged WAR-file and the full Eclipse project.
If you need any further assistance, just ask here.
You can also handcraft HTTP request from a non-Java environment.
