Developer documentation

These guides focus on implementing Chenile services and safely extending their runtime behavior.

Workflow development

• Extending STM workflows — choose between an XML overlay and configuration properties when a workflow must vary by module, tenant, or deployment.
• Multi-tenant workflow extension sample — apply the XML-overlay pattern to a reusable vehicle workflow.

JPA development

• Numeric JPA identifiers — use database-generated or application-generated Long and Integer IDs in ordinary JPA entities without changing workflow APIs.
