Combining Windows Workflow Foundation with BizTalk Server
Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is Microsoft’s rich new platform for building business process management solutions. BizTalk Server is Microsoft’s integration broker for connecting enterprise applications. You have likely come across many articles/blog posts comparing and contrasting BizTalk capabilities with Workflow Foundation. Well, it is time to start talking about how these technologies are coming together. Starting with BizTalk 2006 R2, and the buildup towards the recently announced "Oslo," it is clear that these technologies are getting closely integrated.
The following subjects will be covered:
- Using Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) with Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) Interceptor technology for enabling an end-to-end instrumentation solution.
- Using BizTalk as the server environment to host Workflow Foundation.
- Using BizTalk's Line of Business Adapter Framework to consume workflow services
Vishwas Lele, Chief Technology Officer, Applied Information Sciences will present.
This reminds me when I saw
Jon Flanders present this topic this summer which didn't really pan out for me. It seemed to be shoehorning a technology that didn't belong just yet. The XLANG engine in BizTalk is still the way to go for Orchestrations. Maybe with time and "Oslo", that will change.
