What is the relationship of a job to a TaskBean?
A job can be composed of one or more TaskBeans. TaskBeans can be chained together in a workflow. They execute one after the other and can pass properties to each other. Passing properties between TaskBeans is optional, and they can be configured to do so using GUI tools and without the TaskBeans having any prior knowledge of each other. • Is JobServer a workflow processing type system?
