Introduction to the Service Registry

In this guide, using the Flowable Service Registry Engine from a modeling perspective is described.

If you’re interested in the technical side to understand the way the Service Registry Engine works, then the Service Registry Developer Guide provides more details.

More examples can be found in The Data Object Modeler Guide

At runtime, the process or case invokes the service configured in the referenced service definition.
