The Component Integrator makes it possible to import custom Java™ components as code modules, making them available in a workflow. In addition, a JEE JMS queue can be configured as a component queue where the work object, in XML format, is sent to the JMS queue when the work item is routed to the component queue in the workflow.
In the workflow definition, a component step connects to a component queue configured for one or more operations in the external component.
