We are working on a Spring based web based application where we need to implement workflow. This is how a sample scenario looks like: User fills in the registration form. This request is stored in the database and an admin will be notified. Admin will approve this request and only then this request will actually be processed and can be taken further. There can be one or more than one admins who need to approve the requests based on the type of the activity. There will be hierarchies assigned to different roles. Only the admin can view the options to approve or reject requests. Not everyone. In general, there will be user-type specific activities. One way is to design the workflow based on database entries. Each user may be assigned one/more roles and workflow will involve these users. Is there anything Spring offers that will suite my requirement? I have gone through this and this Spring documentation but could not understand fully.

https://github.com/ajeydudhe/workflow-lite implements workflow using spring beans and spring expression language. This implementation is light weight and avoid the need to pass the data to activities through context object. You can directly inject the required data using spring expression language.
