Well, one way you could do that is to use an "Enterprise Service Bus" such as ServiceMix <a href="http://servicemix.org/site/home.html">http://servicemix.org/site/home.html</a> or mule <a href="http://mule.codehaus.org/">
http://mule.codehaus.org/</a> <br><br>Then each of your apps calls into the bus and the workflow engine is run from the bus, not from the apps. This is more "Service Orientated" and has a pretty big footprint. Though it would be one way to solve your technology agnostic problem. (Not the best way perhaps, but one way)
