Description

Add the function that performs state transitions in the WorkflowProcessor. This was handled before in wengine-branch by WorkflowListeners, and detecting ChangeType.STATE_CHANGE. I like the whole listener thing, but decide on whether or not we need it later. For the moment, I think we can solve the state change issue by simply having a nextState or determineNextState function that is implemented by default in WorkflowProcessor and then possibly overridden in the sub classes.
