8. A workflow-based application generator, comprising: a data processing device; and a memory on which is stored machine readable instructions, that when executed by the data processing device cause the data processing device to: receive workflow input files comprising workflow files and business process definition files; create a workflow page repository storing workflow pages and metadata for each workflow page including a workflow page description describing one or more steps performed by each workflow page, wherein each workflow page includes reusable code that performs the one or more steps of the workflow page; parse the workflow input files to determine a plurality of feature functionalities of a workflow-based application being generated, and to determine one or more processing steps for each feature functionality; create workflow configuration rules including the plurality of feature functionalities of the workflow-based application being generated, and including the one or more processing steps for each feature functionality, wherein creating the workflow configuration rules further includes defining and editing, by input received via a user interface, at least one of the workflow configuration rules; create routing configuration rules including an order for executing the feature functionalities and dependencies for the feature functionalities; for each feature functionality in the workflow configuration rules, search the workflow page descriptions in the workflow page repository based on the steps for the feature functionality in the workflow configuration rules; identify matching workflow pages from the searching of the workflow page repository for each feature functionality; build workflow pages for any of the feature functionalities that do not have a matching workflow page, and storing the built workflow pages in the workflow page repository; include workflow page identifiers for the matching workflow pages and the built workflow pages in the workflow configuration rules; include an order of executing the matching and built workflow pages and input and output requirements of each of the matching and built workflow pages in the routing configuration rules; generate a workflow context according to the workflow configuration rules, the routing configuration rules, and the matching, built workflow pages, wherein generating the workflow context includes; retrieve a workflow page tinplate; and aggregate the workflow configuration rules, the routing workflow rules, the matching, built workflow pages, and the retrieved workflow page template into the generated workflow context; and generate the workflow-based application based upon the workflow context.
9. The workflow-based application generator of claim 8 , wherein said instructions are further to cause the data processing device to receive a plurality of workflow processes having at least one process step in common, wherein the generated workflow configuration rules and the generated routing configuration rules for each workflow process of the plurality of workflow processes includes a common workflow page.
