Workflows are not Serializable
------------------------------

                 Key: JSPWIKI-304
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-304
             Project: JSPWiki
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core & storage
    Affects Versions: 2.8.1
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Andrew Jaquith
             Fix For: 3.0


At the moment, workflows cannot be serialized. This makes it fairly useless 
because moderated page-save operations and user profile creations cannot 
persist between WikiEngine restarts.

We provided a partial fix for this problem, which made most of the 
com.ecyrd.jspwiki.workflow package serializable. This filing addresses the rest 
of it:

- Parameters passed to Workflow.setAttribute(String,Object) -- change Object to 
Serializable
- Parameters passed to Step.setAttribute(String,Object) and all implementations 
-- change Object to Serializable
- Value returned by Workflow.getAttribute(String) -- change return type from 
Object to Serializable
- Value returned by Step.getAttribute(String)  and all implementations -- 
change return type from Object to Serializable

We will also provide a mechanism for serializing the workflow objects to disk, 
perhaps similar to the way ReferenceManager works.
