Calling a child workflow

Question

Hi All,
I have slightly twisted version of the calling child workflow problem.
I have one parent workflow & 4 child workflows. Parent workflow has to call
a child workflow during run time. But the crux is parent workflow has to
decide on the run time which of the child workflows to invoke & call the
appropriate workflow accordingly.
Now the current WLI UI allows me to select the child workflow from a
drop-down kinda interface where all the "callable workflows" appear we have
to select one of them. Which is in a sense a hard coding of which child w/f
to call.
What I want is to select at the run time which of the child w/fs to invoke
then invoke them accordingly.
Is it possible to select the w/f to be called at run time ? If yes then how
Has anybody done something similiar ?
thanx in advance for help.

Answer 1

Hi
There are ways to do this. You could have cascading decision nodes which
decide which workflow to call (order by frequency). In this case you could
fall through to then next one if it is false. So you use a variable, based
on variable take the appropriate path
