Hi Thomas, you may want to investigate workflow engines that have already 
been written. The one I have any experience with is Enhydra Shark. From 
their website:

The Enhydra Shark project delivers a workflow server with a difference. It 
is an extendable workflow engine framework including a standard 
implementation completely based on WfMC specifications using XPDL (without 
any proprietary extensions !) as its native workflow process definition 
format and the WfMC "ToolAgents" API for serverside execution of system 
activities. 

More at http://www.enhydra.org/workflow/shark/index.html (you are in luck 
too seems like they have updated their entire site just last night, so you 
can get started using their brand new look and feel!!)

They have a mailing list too which you wish to join and where you may get 
more answers to your questions.
