Hi Terry, > (Like Florian, however, I presumed that the workflows were > persistent - not sure what value they'd have if they had to be > created from scratch all the time.)
that's a misunderstanding... the workflow definitions are persistent of course, because they're java code implementing the workflow API. Only the workflow instances' states aren't persistent at the moment, and that's what I was presuming. > PS: It would be helpful if any list members who actually use the > workflow functionality (particularly in a production environment) could > comment about their use of it.

Well, I've been playing around with the two implemented workflows which ship with JSPWiki already. They definitely are useful. Just think of workflow technology as an approach towards higher code reusability. I can imagine many use cases of extending JSPWiki in which this API is able to reduce time and effort considerably.
