Hi Nicola -- The page you referenced is not the documentation for workflows, just a wiki page. For the real documentation, take a look at the Javadoc for the workflow API.
"Workflows," as they exist today, are comprised of two things: 1) a Workflow.jsp page, which provides an "inbox" that allows users to respond to workflow decisions and notifications, and 2) an API that allows participating classes to create the workflow objects themselves. To date, there are only two out-of-the-box workflows: for approving edited pages, and for approving new user accounts. Both of these can be configured via jspwiki.properties. These are both single-approval models. Multiple-approval models, like the one you described, are definitely possible using the workflow APIs, but not implemented in any out-of-the-box workflows today. You'd need to write Java code that links together the correct steps and decisions. I'd recommend you take a look at the WorkflowBuilder class, and the various workflow test classes, to see how we've done the others. If you are feeling super-motivated, we'd love to get some contributions. It would be great to have a "multi-approval" builder method in WorkflowBuilder. The good news is that the classes, from the Java perspective, are fairly simple and easy to understand. The bad news is that we don't yet have a way to persist workflows between webapp restarts. That's going to change in JSPWiki 3, when we will begin requiring all objects involved in workflows to be Serializable.
