closed.completed. XPDL allows an activity to be implemented by several tools that are executed in sequence. Only if complete is called after the last tool has been started will the workflow engine change the activity's state to closed.completed. Else the activity will remain in the open.running state and the next tool will be started. If complete is called while the activity's state has been set to open.not_running.suspended the next tool will not be started until the activity is resumed.
The {@link de.danet.an.workflow.api.Activity extended API}provides methods for finding out which tool is currently being executed. @throws RemoteException if a system-level error occurs. @throws CannotCompleteException if the activity cannot be completed yet.
