A configuration contract is a declarative piece of XML data associated with a workflow service at compile time and it is described in more detail in 15.2 Configuration Contract Tags.

The classes should be named as follows:
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| This class is generated from the workflow service's configuration contract. The class holds the configuration data for the workflow service. It extends the class |
| This is the workflow service definition class that contains references to the user interface and executable implementations of the workflow service, as well as other information. This class must extend |
| This is the class responsible for the actual execution that implements the workflow service's runtime logic. The class should extend: |
| The workflow service user interface dialog, used to collect and display the template configuration data for the agent. It is defined in a class extending |
