Class: Ruote::Exp::RefExpression

Inherits:
FlowExpression show all
Defined in:
lib/ruote/exp/fe_ref.rb

Overview

Sometimes you don't know at 'design time', if you want to trigger a participant or subprocess.

Ruote.process_definition do
  sequence do
    participant 'alice'
    ref '${solver}'
    participant 'charlie'
  end
end

In this process, solver's name could be a participant name or a subprocess name.

Subprocesses have the priority over participants.

Note : this expression is used by the worker when substituting unknown expression names with participant or subprocess refs.
