Should the creation of a document require a workflow transition?
i did not talk about a transition, but a default state.
The versions are bound to transitions, not to states. I.e., a
version is only created when a transition is executed.
well, no need to change that. just extend this definition with "...or
when the document is initially created." just one local change in the
default document creator.
and, um, creation is a transition from non-being into being. all nice
and constistent. (/me runs and hides)
nothing at all has to change in the way workflow is defined and
implemented.
currently, we have this:
* new document is created, no workflow state.
No, it is in the initial state:
<state id="authoring" initial="true"/>
* someone edits it, and the workflow implementation figures, hey,
someone is editing it, let's initiate a state transistion. oh wait,
there is no state yet.
No, it is in the initial state.
i see. but that's even nicer. then nothing at all has to change in the
workflow implementation. only the document creator has to be extended to
create a state in it (which has to be the one with initial="true" in the
workflow.xml of the document module). or am i missing something?
