Engine

The wizard4j engine can create one or more wizard4j sessions. Each session takes care of a single flowchart execution. After being started the session will generate a sequence of user interactions, until the flowchart has reached its end.

The engine has a number of configuration options which are illustrated in the tuning section. The engine can be run in a stateful (state kept in server) and stateless (state exchanged in the user interaction) way.

Besides the java api which uses the FlowchartRequest and FlowchartResponse objects, the wizard4j project provides wrappers around the basic engine:

• HtmlWrapper: with this wrapper one can easily create a web interface on top of the wizard4j engine. In the user interaction the wrapper offers an html form to the user and the result of the user interaction is feeded into the wrapper as a parameterMap (typically httpServletRequest.getParameterMap()).
• RestfulWrappper: this wrapper returns in the user interaction an xml document and it can be called with a restful uri. This wrapper is stateless.

Detailed information can be found in the javadoc.
