modifying workflow task properties in javascript

Hi Folks,I am trying to introduce a REST web service for controlling workflows using the web scripts framework. I've found it relatively straightforward to write GET requests which expose the workflow state, but I am having problems controlling the workflow. There are methods such as [definition].

Most of the other Javascript types have a save() method on them that you can use to persist the data. You might just want to try that (if you haven't already).

I'm having a strange problem in that I can't even get a reference to the workflow object. I get the following exception:

11:30:02,552 INFO [web.scripts.DeclarativeWebScript] Caught exception & redirecting to status template: Failed to execute script 'workspace://SpacesStore//Co

eb Scripts Extensions/d3/tasks/endTask.post.js': ReferenceError: "workflow" is not defined. (AlfrescoScript#7)

I'm afraid I'm going to find out that this workflow object isn't exposed in 2.2, but only in 3.0. Can you please share with me the version you are using?
