Method Detail

workflowEngineInstanceKey

public java.lang.String workflowEngineInstanceKey()
                                           throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Every workflow engine has a globally unique key. This key may be used in environments with several workflow engines to uniquely identify an instance. Note that this key should be bound to the data (state) of an engine, not to a deployment address. If an engine is moved to a different machine, but continues using the same data (i.e. all running processes remain the same etc.) then it should still provide the same instance key.

Returns:

the unique instance key

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException
