ABAP classes for Workflow

Actually you can create an attribute of an ABAP OO object that calls a
BOR object at runtime.
The attribute has to have format SIBFLPORB and you need to use the
initial values to pre-set the category/type information (e.g. using a
constant)
so that you can access the BOR attributes and methods at runtime.
There's also no problem with mixing OO and BOR tasks in the same
workflow.
The more I work with ABAP OO classes for workflow, the less inclined I
am to touch old BOR stuff at all.
The one area where you may need to compromise is events - i.e. if the
application raises events automatically then you may still need to
define any new
events against the BOR object.
By the way, change document event configuration handles ABAP OO events
nicely. Status mgt and HR don't as yet.

Hi Jocelyn,
Thanks for the information.
Origin of my question was from the point of thinking to create
sub-classes of std classes if available e.g Material.
Now here I have some doubt in my mind. If we do not have std content for
classes as we do have for BOR object say BUS1001006 , then how to
proceed in case of use of classes?
As in case of BOR, we were able to use existing content using subtype
/delegation techniques and used to add only additional data as required.
In case of classes do we have to code and create every thing from
scratch if we want to create a class which simulates material in R/3?
So will it not be easier and convenient to use Business objects (which
have encapsulated R/3 data) than creating classes from scratch? (Please
correct me if I am wrong in my assumptions.)

No - although you can use ABAP OO for Workflow from 6.20 (with
restrictions) and 6.40 (full)
there is not much standard content provided this way as yet.
However as a rule on projects in 6.20 and 6.40 we are now always
creating ABAP OO classes rather than
new subtypes of BOR objects as this reduces skills needs for future
changes.
You can see all current ABAP OO classes for workflow by doing a
where-used list on ABAP OO Interface IF_WORKFLOW in transaction SE24.

Hi,
In relation to this topic of use of ABAP classes in Workflow as against
use of BOR objects in newer versions, wanted to know that are there
standard classes available in system which are equivalent to existing
BOR objects? e.g. Do we have class available for Material which is
equivalent to BOR object BUS1001006 which can be used for building a
workflow?
Thanks in advance.
