ABSTRACT
The process server is the embodiment of the process layer in the architecture. The process repository is the database for all the process data, both static and runtime. Applications implement the various activity-services that are part of the business process. The applications with the Enterprise Java Beans components are kept in a JEE application server in the manifestation. The adapter layer is a part of the process server. It is concerned with handling all communication-related aspects of the interaction of process instances with the business logic components. The business rules engine houses the explicitly defined business rules that govern the business functionality of individual activities. The approach to target the architecture development is primarily top-down. The architecture work starts with the modeling of the business process and then it proceeds down to the design of the components of the architecture. The web server realizes the user interface application layer of the architecture.
