Hosting a Workflow in an MVVM application

[Gawiz]

I'm designing a MVVM application that does not use WPF or Silverlight. It will simply present web pages in HTML5, styled with CSS3. The domain is a perfect case for using WF because it involves a number of activities in a long-running process. Specifically, I am tracking the progress of interactions with a customer over a 30 day period and that involves filling out various forms at points along the way, getting approvals from a supervisor at certain times, and making certain that the designated order of activities is followed and is executed correctly. Each activity will normally be represented by a form on a view designed to capture the desired information at that step. My research so far has turned up examples where the workflow is used to execute business logic in accordance with the flowchart that defines it. In my situation, I need for a user to login then pick up where she left off in the workflow (for example, some new external event has occurred and she needs to fill out the form for that or move forward in the workflow to that step.) And I need to support the case where the supervisor logs in and can basically be presented with activities that need approval at that time. So... it seems to me that a WF solution might be appropriate, but maybe the way I want to use it is inverted - like the cart pulling the horse so to speak. I'd appreciate any insight that anyone here can offer.

Thanks so much! Steve Lackey
