Abstract
Methods and systems may be associated with a workflow management environment. An external data store may be associated with a persistence technology to contain operational data. A workflow management platform may include a running workflow and a workflow context associated with a persistence technology to contain application state information. A data access language component may be coupled between the running workflow and the external data store to access the operational data in a declarative way. The data access language component may, for example, copy the operational data transparently for a developer of the running workflow. The data access language component may then store the operational data transiently in a short-lived session and, after the operational data is processed by the running flow, release the operational data. According to some embodiments, changes made to the to the operational data are automatically played back to the external data store.
