I can not find any "simple workflow" being called as such a one.
But i think something like following should help to guide you along the problem:

Your problem is to fetch the document owner of a document?
Firstly you must get the documents being added to the workflow. This could work like following:


workflowInstance = workflowService.getWorkflowById("xyz");

NodeRef pathToAllAddedDocuments = workflowInstance.workflowPackage;

for(ChildAssociationRef ref : nodeService.getChildAssocs(pathToAllAddedDocuments )){
    NodeRef child = ref.getChildRef();
    String owner=nodeService.getProperty(child, ContentModel.PROP_OWNER);
   //TODO: ADD your code here
}

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Now you can get the email from this user via PersonService or what you want to do with it.

Now you have to add some logic to your workflow. As decsriped above i do not know about this workflow so i write down some helpfuly code:


<task-node name="task-B1">
  …
  <task>
  …
   </task>
    <transition name="approve" to="approve" />
    <transition name="reject" to="reject">
</task-node>

<task-node name="approve">
  <event type="node-enter">
     //this class has the logic of the above descriped code.
     <action class="de.dmc.NotifyDocumentOwnerAction"/>
  </event>
</task-node>
