adding functionality to get a list of workflow definitions

what do you think about adding a function getWorkflowNames() to
AbstractWorkflowFactory which returns
a list of workflows that can be created by the factory?

this would allow to show a list of workflow definition in your application.

my implementation:
add to the AbstractWorkflowFactory interface
   public abstract String[] getWorkflowNames();

add to XMLWorkflowFactory
    public String[] getWorkflowNames() {
        int i = 0;
        String[] res = new String[workflows.keySet().size()];
        Iterator it = workflows.keySet().iterator();
        while (it.hasNext()) {
            res[i++] = (String) it.next();
        }
        return res;
    }

add to URLWorkflowFactory (not supported here, return URL cache???)
    public String[] getWorkflowNames() {
        return null;
    }

add to ConfigLoader (to make it available from the outside)
    public static String[] getWorkflowNames() {
        return factory.getWorkflowNames();
    }
