ManageTaskDialog.java is dealing with tasks whereas browse.jsp is displaying content. In order to show workflow history you'll need to get hold of the task that is associated with each content item, to do this you'll need to find the workflows that that content is currently involved in.

Have a look at renderAdvancedWorkflowInfo() in UINodeWorkflowInfo for an example of retrieving workflow info for an arbitary content item.

Once a task is completed the task gets marked as completed and the workflow is marked as non-active.

To retrieve the details of a workflow that has completed you need to use slightly different parameters i.e. to get a list of completed tasks you use:

List<WorkflowTask> tasks = this.workflowService.getAssignedTasks(
                  userName, WorkflowTaskState.COMPLETED);

Hope this helps.
