Claim:
1. A method for controlling data-flow in a workflow process, the method comprising: determining a first input variable and a first output variable associated with a first service task from a first service task definition in a compiled code file; determining a second input variable and a second output variable associated with a second service task from a second service task definition in the compiled code file; defining a workflow variable, wherein the workflow variable is mapped to an input variable or an output variable of a given service task; formatting for display, via a graphical user interface, at least: determining the data-flow definition of the workflow process, wherein determining the data-flow definition comprises: executing the workflow process according to the data-flow definition; and modifying the second service task definition during the execution of the workflow process to map an output variable of another service task to the second input variable of the second service task, wherein the modifying the second service task definition occurs during execution of the another service task and the second service task, and wherein execution of the first service task comprises: receiving an override value; replacing the default value with the override value; and executing the first service task using the replaced default value.
