Windows workflow service for bussiness rules
Our application is a silverlight and WCF application.We have some bussiness processes which drives the UI whihc is currently part of the client itself.We thought of creating a workflow and deploy it as service and the silverlight can talk to it and make decessions for the UI.I even found a nice sample from Ron Jacobs about workflow service and SL.
But my issue is the UI team is not looking to run the bussiness process using the workflow service  instead they would like to just get answers from the workflow service.
Like tell me all possible transitions from State A or State B.Or can I go back to State A from State C. Then they would handle the UI accordingly.
So I am thinking of creating the workflow using State Machines. whihch would Use the input parameter to move to any state from initial state and then get all possible transitions from that state as send activity.
Sorry If I am not clear with my question.
I am basically looking to create a stateless single instance workflow and just run the workflow rules and answer the client whether particular transition is possible or not based on the workflow rules.
Is it possible?Are we in right track? How can I acheive this.
I did lot of research.But I am not finding much about the stateless workflow scenario.
ANy thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated.    
Thanks.
