The new orchestration component delivers a Java API for integrating, managing and controlling processes. It is part of Metastorm’s Universal Process Orchestration Kit which also covers .NET and Web Services.

Columbia, Maryland-based Metastorm now offers a single API across these three disparate environments. A key benefit is providing a single view into a process layered across multiple application platforms.

The software provides a Java class library (object model) for Metstorm’s flagship e-Work platform for business process management. It also includes a Java 2 activator that allows Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) to be invoked by e-Work wizards and a plug-in module for Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS).
