what does 'event' mean? who fires this 'event'..

to change a state you would
get the workitem handle, (find by name, id, tag, , .... somehow)
then get its full state, (read only)
then get its workingCopy (changeable) thru the workItemClient service methods

and then using its workingcopy get the allowed actions (start working, set resolved) from the workitems current state, and then use the workingcopy. setWorkflowAction(java.lang.String action) to set the action to be executed when the copy is saved...

then save, via the workingcopy.save() fucntion..

all this I found thru looking at the javadoc for the plainjava libraries.

I don' have a sample like this
