module OpenWFE
#
# Participants sit at the edge between the engine and the external
# world. The participant expression transmit the workitem applied
# to it to the Participant instance it looks up in the participant map
# tied to the engine.
#
# direct reference to participant alpha :
#
#
#
# the name of the participant is the value found in
# the field 'target' :
#
#
#
#
# the name of the participant is the value found in
# the variable 'target' :
#
#
#
#
# direct reference to participant 'alpha'
# if a subprocess named 'alpha' has been defined, the
# subprocess will be called instead :
#
#
#
# The Participant expressions includes the FilterMixin and thus
# understands and applies the "filter" attribute.
#
# Since OpenWFEru 0.9.9, the attributes of the participant expression are
# set inside a hash field named 'params' just available to the participant.
# Thus in
#
#
#
# participant 'toto' will receive a workitem with a field named 'params'
# containing the hash
# { "ref"=>"toto", "task"=>"play golf", "location"=>"Minami Center" }.
#
# When the workitem gets back from the participant, the field 'params' is
# deleted.
#
# The participant expressions include the TimeoutMixin, it means that
# a timeout can be stated :
#
#
#
# If after 2 weeks and 1 day (15 days), participant "toto" hasn't replied,
# the workitem will get cancelled and the flow will resume (behind the
# scene, participant "toto", will receive a CancelItem instance bearing
# the same FlowExpressionId as the initial workitem and the participant
# implementation is responsible for the cancel application).
#
# The participant expression accepts an optional 'if' (or 'unless')
# attribute. It's used for conditional execution of the participant :
#
# participant :ref => "toto", :if => "${weather} == raining"
# # the participant toto will receive a workitem only if
# # it's raining
#
# boss :unless => "#{f:matter} == 'very trivial'"
# # the boss will not participate in the proces if the matter
# # is 'very trivial'
