• feature difference between MOSS standard and MOSS enterprise

    The following features are available with the Standard license type:

  • security in central admin site

            <p>
            The previous section described how the user web site works. But how do you modify the inner guts of WSS? You may remember that I said that the account used during the installation will initially also be the only account that can access the Central Administration web site. But this is not completely true!

            sharepoint template gallery: http://b-wss1:81/_catalogs/wt/Forms/Common.aspx
            </p>

  • Workflow persistence

            <p>
            What triggers persistence?
            <ul>
            <li>
            Runtime decides when to persist
            </li>
            <li>
            Persistence service decides how and where
            </li>
            <li>
            <div>Conditions:</div>
            <ul>
            <li>
            Anytime the WF goes idle (e.g. Delay Activity)
            </li>
    
  • EventHandling in WF

            <p>
            In WF, CallExternalMethod is used to transfer data from workflow instance to host, and HandleExternalEvent is used to transfer data from host to workflow instance. The pattern of HandleExternalEvent is similar to the one of CallExternalMethod. Basically, you specify the interface the HandleExternalEvent can support, then you need to specify the event that HandleExternalEvent can handle. The event is from the interface supported. To use HandleExternalEvent in our workflow, we have more supporting activities need to be introduced into the workflow. Firstly, you need a listener activity to support event listening. In the listening activity, you define one or more  EventDrivenActivity. In side of EventDrivenActivity, the first child activity should be HandleExternalEvent, which is define what event it is listening.  To achieve the purpose of transferring information from external host to workflow instance, we can embed the information in the event argument. At the workflow client side, we need to add the external service to workflow host. The external service inplement the interface that the HandleExternalEvent want to handle. Then client call external service's fire event method, magically, the workflow instance will intercept the event.
