Re: [OSWorkflow] Adding workflow instance reference to transientVars

i agree that it should be use with caution but there are things that i 
want to do absolutely require it.  for instance, i coded a class called 
DoAction that given an actionId as <arg>, it would execute that action 
(i was trying to reuse/execute actions defined in global-actions in 
workflow definition, not just in jave code).  of course i could 
duplicate the same code that is in AbstractWorkflow.doAction, but why ?
