Parameter Compatibility

For a workflow to function correctly, parameters connected by transitions must be compatible.

The Workflow Creation Tool checks whether parameters are compatible when a transition is created. Some parameters are of a general type (e.g. JAVA Object) and the actual contents are only known at runtime. So another check must be performed at runtime, to determine whether the actual values provided for this instance are indeed compatible.

If a compatibility problem is detected, an error message is displayed.
