Hi John,

Hope you had a great time in Russia? :-)

Sure, I could implement a participant that works as a workitem consumer, 
but my problem is that I'm stick with PHP and Apache and I can't see how 
I could implement this consumer interface, because there doesn't seem to 
be an HTTP based dispatcher in the engine (I could find SocketDispatcher 
and SmtpDispatcher, and also the WSInvoker, but that doesn't dispatch 
the complete workitem).

That's why I thought that, becuase I'm happy with the funcionality of 
the worklist I don't want to replicate all its funcionality in PHP, 
rather I would dispatch workitems there, but would be great if I could 
inform my PHP application about the dispatch to the worklist.

Although a side issue, but somehow relates to my previous problem. The 
only reason I seriously consider(ed) implementing some PHP based 
participant (worklist) that could work as a workitem listener/consumer 
is that the worklist REST interface doesn't support querying of 
workitems by workitem parameters (only getting all the headers and then 
selecting the appropriate workitems to download in - im my case - PHP 
time). However, I think I will use a SqlWorkItemStore in the worklist 
and query that directly from my PHP app and then download the complete 
workitems I need. My only concern with this approach is that the 
documentation states that "Warning :'swis' is currently not maintained 
actively anymore". But I hope it would work with the provided 
MysqlDataSource. Wouldn't it? :-)

Best regards,
