Overview In Jetfire a 'workflow' refers to a workflow object. A Jetfire 'workflow' is an instantiation of a ' Workflow Class '. Jetfire workflow classes have a number of unique first class attributes such as persistence, dynamic access modifiers , and states . A workflow object at its heart is still a standard OO object that describes data [...]
Jetfire Overview Jetfire is a dynamic, multi-user, object oriented language and runtime support. The language derives its syntax from C# and Java. Jetfire extends this syntax by adding first class support for features such as states , roles , versioning, audit information and persistence . Objects and classes ( code ) in Jetfire are automatically and transparently placed in permanent storage on a server nexus . This storage can either be a file system, [...]

Overview The application interface has been designed to allow Jetfire objects to be accessed directly within .net code. Jetfire objects can be accessed a)using Jetfire framework classes b)using .net DLR interface or c) a combination of the two techniques. Jetfire programs can also access .net objects . Exceptions can be thrown in Jetfire and caught directly in .net [...]
Using .Net Objects within Jetfire (V1.3.6+ ) Beginning with release V1.3.6 of the Jetfire download .net objects ( CLR objects ) can be used directly within Jetfire with a few restrictions. Dot net object support will be phased in over a number of releases beginning with V1.3.6. Static methods and properties of a .net class can be used exactly like Jetfire class within Jetfire. [...]
Jetfire API for Web Service (return to Jetfire Web Service ) An xml string provides a lot of flexibility in responding to client requests.

Role Overview A 'Role' is a first class workflow object within Jetfire. Roles provide the logged-in user with permissions for accessing workflows, workspace contents, executing methods, accessing properties and changing permissions. A Jetfire user can be assigned one or more roles. Methods and properties objects can have roles assigned using the 'access construct' . Workflow objects can be assigned roles programmatically (see [...]

FindWorkflowCriteria is a class that is used in Jetfire Web Parts and the Jetfire Web Service to provide flexibility in quickly retrieving workflows. The enumerated values of the class follow. Each element has one or more parameters.
WhereAllVisible = Workflows that are Visible. WorkflowClasses: optional comma-delimited list of workflow class names AllVersions: a flag that indicates that [...]
Jetfire vs CSharp Differences Overview Jetfire's core syntax is identical to C#. Jetfire contains extensions to the .net C# language to simplify programming. To reduce the complexity of the programming model certain aspects of the .net C# language are not required in Jetfire. Jetfire Extensions Jetfire has a number of first class constructs not in C#. Code examples can be found at the Jetfire [...]

Jetfire Code Life Cycle
The life cycle of a Jetfire Code Class is displayed in the following picture.
The steps include:
Write the code Parse the code into an Expression Tree Run the code in the .net Framework Common Language Run-time environment Change the code in a Visual Designer In designing the Jetfire language, we started with the programmatic model. This allows us to write unit tests against the code base to ensure that the design does not stray. Once the programmatic model was mature, we introduced [...]

Jetfire Administration: Security Using Roles
Roles and Workspaces are used to secure data for the Registration solution. Securing Workflows
Let's walk through an example of how Workflows are secured. The example secures data for the XYZ Workflow. Workflow Name: 'XYZ' To secure the workflow data, follow these steps:
Create a unique Workspace for every Club. The Workspace name is 'XYZ'. Create a unique Role. The Role name is 'XYZ'. Add the 'XYZ' Role to the 'XYZ' Workspace. Create [...]
Workflow Versions
Jetfire code, when parsed, added to the client nexus Code Collection and persistent storage in the server nexus . Jetfire code can be added to a running system. When Jetfire code parses correctly, the code is added to the Jetfire Code Collection as a ' parse unit '. Otherwise, the errors are identified. When code is updated, the Parse Unit of the previous version must be referenced so that the running system is aware of changes being [...]
