上面所写的workflow对象，你可以通过new BasicWorkflow(caller);得到。
也可以扩展AbstractWorkflow得到

/**
 * 扩展的工作流类
 */
public class ExtWorkflow extends AbstractWorkflow {

    public void setContext() {
        String caller;
        try {
            caller= //通过你的上下文获得
        } catch (Exception e) {
            caller ="";
        }
        super.context=new BasicWorkflowContext(caller);
    }

}
