<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I am using combination of both ,BOR objects and classes in my workflows. I have been using them for a while, and what I have experienced is, it’s a good practice
to use a complete class for an object e.g. Plant if it’s a totally new object that you are creating. However, If a BOR equivalent is already present, I will prefer using standard BOR object with standard methods and events, however won’t delegate it. Any customization
or extra method that is required is accomplished using static methods of workflow class. Also functional methods are of great help, as they replace background methods having single export parameter very well and reduce overheads of background methods.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">So I am using benefits of both, not inventing a new class to completely replace an existing BOR object, however reaping all the benefits of classes too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Hey Wug'ers<br>
<br>
Honestly, I really expected a few more results on WF folks using ABAP OO. I see so much potential for adding it to the skill sets. Even if you don't use full ABAP Objects, just using a simple Program Exit class ( in a very simple class even ) has been useful
for me. Program Exits, you can catch internal Task events. Like, if someone Logically Deletes a WF, without it, it is just done. With something like zcl_CompleteProcess hung off the template, will still execute the code. Very useful for me.
<br>
<br>
Humph! Interesting. <br>
