Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product provide mechanisms for improved error handling in workflow management systems. An example of the method includes receiving a first content item in an electronic workflow management system, the first content item comprising an electronic document and a set of document metadata, validating the first content item to determine that an error exists within the first content item, the validation performed according to a set of validation rules, in response to determining that an error exists within the first content item, identifying the first content item as an erroneous content item, determining error metadata associated with the first content item, generating a packaged erroneous content item comprising the first content item and the error metadata, and processing the packaged erroneous content item by a workflow engine of the electronic workflow management system.
