             Summary: Enhance Workflow Lifecycle to include state change logic
                 Key: OODT-484
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-484
             Project: OODT
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: workflow manager
    Affects Versions: 0.4
         Environment: none
            Reporter: Brian Foster
            Assignee: Brian Foster
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.5


Let's split up the lifecycle XML file into several files (kind have it look 
like filemgr element and product-type XML files):
  1) Define States XML file
  2) Define Stages XML file
  3) Mapping of States to Stages XML file
  4) Mapping of States to next valid States

I then propose we add a Priority to each Stage (its purpose will become 
apparent)... Then we create a new Interface: StatePreCondition... These 
preconditions would then be attached to a State... Then when the Workflow 
Processor detects a State change it would poll each next valid State 
(determined by mapping in purposed XML file #4) for their PreConditions and if 
any of the State's PreConditions pass then that State would become the next 
State of that Workflow Processor (if multiple States pass as next State, then 
the priority attached to the Stage each State belongs to is used to determine 
which State becomes next State)
