what is workflowspecification

System

Hi,
I'm a newbie of TeamSite. Now I have to use CSSDK to invoke a workflow job.
in CSSDK doc, the method CSWorkflowEngine.createWorkflow(String workflowSpecification) could make me creating a new job. But I cannot figure out what workflowspecifaction is . is that the .ipm, workflow name or something else ? can someone help me to solve this issue ? I appreciate your help !!!

It's an xml file created when a user instantiates a workflow I believe. It is a combination of the .wft (or ipm) with the user input values specific to a job.

//Is the workflow XML - can be got by turning on the debug option in the work flow, then using the green portion & saving it as an .xml file.
String xmlSpecFile = "D:/Interwoven/my_wf.xml";

//use a reader to load the xml
BufferedReader xmlBufReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(xmlSpecFile));
String fileLine = null;
while ((fileLine = xmlBufReader.readLine()) != null) {
xmlStringBuffer.append(fileLine);
xmlStringBuffer.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));

}

String xmlStringSpec = xmlStringBuffer.toString();

//Invoking the XML workflow
CSWorkflow wf = client.getWorkflowEngine().createWorkflow(xmlStringSpec);
