How does GemStone/S interchange information with Orbeon Forms (a Java Application) ?

From GemStone/S to Orbeon

Usually a web user is logged in Orbeon Form Process (the BPM application) an from there an Orbeon Form is called. Each Orbeon Form represent a task inside the BPM (Orbeon Form Process which is a GemStone Smalltalk Seaside application). The communication process is the following:

1- The user click inside the BPM to perform a task. 2- The GemStone/S application generate a GUI and associate a XML (which contain user data -roles and so on-) with this GUID. 3- The GemStone/S application the redirect the request to the corresponding Orbeon Form passing the GUID as parameter in the URL.
