# Embedded Microflow

**Embedded Microflow** allows you to export a Microflow as a **JAR file** and embed it directly into an existing **Java application**.\
In this mode, the Microflow runs **inside the JVM of the host application** and is invoked using **Microflow Java APIs**.

This approach is suitable when integration logic needs to be tightly coupled with a Java‑based system and does not need to be exposed as a standalone service.

***

### When to Use Embedded Microflow

Embedded Microflow is recommended when:

* The consuming system is a Java application
* You want in‑process execution with low latency
* The Microflow does not need to be accessed via REST APIs
* You want to reuse Microflow logic as a Java library

***

### Steps to Export an Embedded Microflow

#### Step 1: Choose Embedded Export Option

1. Open the completed Microflow in **Microflow Designer**
2. Locate **Choose Export** at the top‑right corner of the screen
3. Click **Export Embedded Microflow**

#### Step 2: Export the Microflow as JAR

1. Enter the desired **File Name**
2. Click **Export**

***

### Result of Export

* The Microflow is downloaded as a **JAR file**
* The generated JAR contains:
  * Microflow execution logic
  * Business Object definitions
  * Required runtime metadata

You can now:

* Copy the JAR file into another **Java project**
* Add it to the project’s classpath
* Invoke the Microflow using **Microflow Java APIs**

***

### Using Embedded Microflow in Java Applications

Once embedded, the Microflow behaves like a reusable Java component and can be:

* Invoked programmatically
* Integrated with existing services or batch jobs
* Used as part of internal application logic

This enables reuse of ONEWEB Microflow logic without deploying a separate runtime server.

***

### Summary

**Embedded Microflow** provides a simple and efficient way to reuse Microflow logic inside Java applications.

With Embedded Microflow, you can:

* Export Microflow as a JAR file
* Embed it into an existing Java project
* Execute integration logic in‑process
* Avoid standalone service deployment

Embedded Mode is ideal for **tight Java integration scenarios**, while **Standalone Server Mode** is better suited for service‑based and cross‑system integration.
