Thanks Matthias, I'll try it out and let you know how it goes.

You can not specify a wildcard like * for nextPath - the framework does not support that up to now. I would be happy to integrate it, if you can explain a valid use case for it. Right now I do not see a necessity for a wildcard, because you can always leave away the "nextPath" and the "nextState" parameters, which has basically the same result: The action that follows next can be any action. To refer to you concrete problem: Preventing people from entering your workflow in the middle can be achieved by using the prevState parameters: If you have actions A, B, C and you want the user to execute B only if A has been executed before and C only if B has already been executed you can do the following: - equip action A with the state 1, action B with state 2 - set prevState=1 for action B and prevState=2 for action C This way action B can only be executed, if the workflow is in state 1 (i. e. action A has been executed) and action C can only be executed, if the workflow is in state 2 (i. e. action B has been executed). Pls. let me know, if this helps. --- Matthias Jordan Thomas wrote: >Hi All, > >I am using the workflow extention to create my workflows.
