OBE Client Application Program Interface

The OBE Client API implements Java bindings of the WfMC XPDL (Interface 1), WAPI2 (Interface 2/3) and Audit (Interface 5) interfaces.

OBE Client Jar (obeclient.jar)

The OBE Client Jar contains everything necessary for a remote client to attach to an OBE server either via XML-RPC or by RMI. It contains all the classes that are also packaged separately in wfmc.jar, obecore.jar and obeclient-api.jar.

The OBE Engine Service Provider Interface (obeengine.jar)

The org.obe.spi package provides classes and interfaces that enable third parties to extend the OBE Engine by plugging in replacements and extensions. The following aspects are accessible:

• Script Evaluators
• Event Notifications
• Run-time Process Model
• Services and Resource Repositories

In addition to the above server-side internal interfaces, third party code can use an extended version of the standard OBE client API.
