+### Cross-App Pattern
+
+The cross-app pattern allows workflows to call activities that are hosted in different Dapr applications. This is useful for microservices architectures allowing multiple applications to host activities that can be orchestrated by Dapr Workflows.
+
+The `CrossAppWorkflow` class defines the workflow. It demonstrates calling activities in different apps using the `appId` parameter in `WorkflowTaskOptions`. See the code snippet below:
+```java
+public class CrossAppWorkflow implements Workflow {
+  @Override
+  public WorkflowStub create() {
+      return ctx -> {
+          var logger = ctx.getLogger();
+          logger.info("=== WORKFLOW STARTING ===");
+          logger.info("Starting CrossAppWorkflow: {}", ctx.getName());
+          logger.info("Workflow name: {}", ctx.getName());
+          logger.info("Workflow instance ID: {}", ctx.getInstanceId());
+
+          String input = ctx.getInput(String.class);
+          logger.info("CrossAppWorkflow received input: {}", input);
+          logger.info("Workflow input: {}", input);
+
+          // Call an activity in another app by passing in an active appID to the WorkflowTaskOptions
+          logger.info("Calling cross-app activity in 'app2'...");
+          logger.info("About to call cross-app activity in app2...");
+          String crossAppResult = ctx.callActivity(
+                  App2TransformActivity.class.getName(),
+                  input,
+                  new WorkflowTaskOptions("app2"),
+                  String.class
+          ).await();
+
+          // Call another activity in a different app
+          logger.info("Calling cross-app activity in 'app3'...");
+          logger.info("About to call cross-app activity in app3...");
+          String finalResult = ctx.callActivity(
+                  App3FinalizeActivity.class.getName(),
+                  crossAppResult,
+                  new WorkflowTaskOptions("app3"),
+                  String.class
+          ).await();
+          logger.info("Final cross-app activity result: {}", finalResult);
+          logger.info("Final cross-app activity result: {}", finalResult);
+
+          logger.info("CrossAppWorkflow finished with: {}", finalResult);
+          logger.info("=== WORKFLOW COMPLETING WITH: {} ===" , finalResult);
+          ctx.complete(finalResult);
+      };
+  }
+}
+
+```
+
+The `App2TransformActivity` class defines an activity in app2 that transforms the input string. See the code snippet below:
+```java
+public class App2TransformActivity implements WorkflowActivity {
+  @Override
+  public Object run(WorkflowActivityContext ctx) {
+    var logger = ctx.getLogger();
+    logger.info("=== App2: TransformActivity called ===");
+    String input = ctx.getInput(String.class);
+    logger.info("Input: {}", input);
+    
+    // Transform the input
+    String result = input.toUpperCase() + " [TRANSFORMED BY APP2]";
+
+    logger.info("Output: {}", result);
+    return result;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The `App3FinalizeActivity` class defines an activity in app3 that finalizes the processing. See the code snippet below:
+```java
+public class App3FinalizeActivity implements WorkflowActivity {
+  @Override
+  public Object run(WorkflowActivityContext ctx) {
+    var logger = ctx.getLogger();
+    logger.info("=== App3: FinalizeActivity called ===");
+    String input = ctx.getInput(String.class);
+    logger.info("Input: ", input);
+    
+    // Finalize the processing
+    String result = input + " [FINALIZED BY APP3]";
+
+    logger.info("Output: {}", result);
+    return result;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **Cross-app activity calls**: Call activities in different Dapr applications specifying the appID in the WorkflowTaskOptions
+- **WorkflowTaskOptions with appId**: Specify which app should handle the activity
+- **Combined with retry policies**: Use app ID along with retry policies and handlers
+- **Error handling**: Works the same as local activity calls
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Multiple Dapr applications running with different app IDs
+- Activities registered in the target applications
+- Proper Dapr workflow runtime configuration
+
+**Important Limitations:**
+- **Cross-app calls are currently supported for activities only**
+- **Child workflow cross-app calls (suborchestration) are NOT supported**
+- The app ID must match the Dapr application ID of the target service
+
+**Running the Cross-App Example:**
+
+This example requires running multiple Dapr applications simultaneously. You'll need to run the following commands in separate terminals:
+
+1. **Start the main workflow worker (crossapp-worker):**
+```sh
+dapr run --app-id crossapp-worker --resources-path ./components/workflows --dapr-grpc-port 50001 -- java -jar target/dapr-java-sdk-examples-exec.jar io.dapr.examples.workflows.crossapp.CrossAppWorker
+```
+
+2. **Start app2 worker (handles App2TransformActivity):**
+```sh
+dapr run --app-id app2 --resources-path ./components/workflows --dapr-grpc-port 50002 -- java -jar target/dapr-java-sdk-examples-exec.jar io.dapr.examples.workflows.crossapp.App2Worker
+```
+
+3. **Start app3 worker (handles App3FinalizeActivity):**
+```sh
+dapr run --app-id app3 --resources-path ./components/workflows --dapr-grpc-port 50003 -- java -jar target/dapr-java-sdk-examples-exec.jar io.dapr.examples.workflows.crossapp.App3Worker
+```
+
+4. **Run the workflow client:**
+```sh
+java -Djava.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=FINE -Dio.dapr.durabletask.level=FINE -jar target/dapr-java-sdk-examples-exec.jar io.dapr.examples.workflows.crossapp.CrossAppWorkflowClient "Hello World"
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+
+The client will show:
+```text
+=== Starting Cross-App Workflow Client ===
+Input: Hello World
+Created DaprWorkflowClient successfully
+Attempting to start new workflow...
+Started a new cross-app workflow with instance ID: 001113f3-b9d9-438c-932a-a9a9b70b9460
+Waiting for workflow completion...
+Workflow instance with ID: 001113f3-b9d9-438c-932a-a9a9b70b9460 completed with result: HELLO WORLD [TRANSFORMED BY APP2] [FINALIZED BY APP3]
+```
+
+The workflow demonstrates:
+1. The workflow starts in the main worker (crossapp-worker)
+2. Calls an activity in 'app2' using cross-app functionality
+3. Calls an activity in 'app3' using cross-app functionality
+4. The workflow completes with the final result from all activities
+
+This pattern is particularly useful for:
+- Microservices architectures where activities are distributed across multiple services
+- Multi-tenant applications where activities are isolated by app ID
+
 ### Suspend/Resume Pattern
 
 Workflow instances can be suspended and resumed. This example shows how to use the suspend and resume commands.
