I am interested in this. I don't know about a plugin implementation
the way you describe (page flow, etc.), but I have been trying
evaluating different workflow/business rule engines lately. I am more
interested in integration from an application perspective... I.e.
Launch a workflow from an action, create/edit/manage workflows and
business rules from a struts app, etc.
