notice that WorkflowBean.setupTaskDialog is very important method, already you can write your own method.
public void setupTaskDialog(String id, String type)
{
ParameterCheck.mandatoryString("Task ID", id);
ParameterCheck.mandatoryString("Task Type", type);
// setup the dispatch context with the task we're opening a dialog for
TransientNode node = new TransientNode(QName.createQName(type), id, null);
this.navigationBean.setupDispatchContext(node);
// pass on parameters for the dialog
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>(2, 1.0f);
params.put("id", id);
params.put("type", type);
Application.getDialogManager().setupParameters(params);
}
All of above will serve you about manage task, but what if you need to initiate a workflow.

look at the simple action link and then look at the initiateMersalWorkflow

I hope that will serve you, please tell me if you are satisfied or not.
