WfProcess.get_activities_in_state( String) does not seem to work any more? issue in Shark.conf? or StandardSecurityManager?

Hi all: 

I have been trying to get my application which was working fine on Shark 
1.0 to now work with Shark 1.1 and have mostly succeeded except for this 
one snag: The call: 

WfProcess.get_activities_in_state( String) 

does not seem to work any more. 

I dug around in the source and I thought it was because of this: 

Shark.conf should have "StandardSecurityManager.SECURITY_MODE" not "
SecurityManagerClassName.SECURITY_MODE" as it currently has. This is 
because of this code in 
StandardSecurityManager.check_process_get_activities_in_state has code to 
test this: 

      if (SECURITY_MODE==SECURITY_MODE_NUM_ADMIN_SECURITY) {..etc. 

But if you look at where SECURITY_MODE is being set (in 
StandardSecurityManager.configure(CallbackUtilities)), here's the code: 
String 
sec_m=cus.getProperty("StandardSecurityManager.SECURITY_MODE","NORMAL_SECURITY"); 


But Shark.conf has instead SecurityManagerClassName.SECURITY_MODE. I 
thought it must be a typo. But changing that in my Shark.conf didn't 
return me a nice list like I expected because the implementation of 
StandardSecuirtyManager.check_process_get_activities_in_state is 
essentially empty..! 

Is this deliberate? Please share any thoughts. Also let me know if I am 
way off-base.. 
Thanks in advance!
