As you don't need advanced workflow features I reckon this workflow implementation fits best for you. Especially you don't need to modify/rebuild the OpenCms core as
<i>Huy Tran</i> suggested and configuration is very easy.<br><br>First of all you've to create three projects for the three types of users A, B and C and assign these users (respectively their usergroups) to the projects (I've named the projects "Offline", which is already available, "Review" and "Approval"). Don't forget to assign all three projects to the same directory ("/",
<i>root </i>suggested).<br><br>Then go on with the quick installation guide:<br><ol><li>Import the <i>commons</i>, <i>springmanager </i>and <i>workflow2</i> module via OpenCms module import mechanism. <br></li><li>Copy opencms-workplace.xml
to %OPENCMS_DIR%\WEB-INF\config\ (replace current configuration)</li><li>Restart your server. <br></li><li>As a final step you have to create your workflow inside the workflow administration panel of OpenCms. Voilá!</li>
</ol>That's all. The Workflow2 Module automatically uses the OpenCms DB connection without configuration. If you need advanced DB configuration have a look at <i>readme.txt </i>inside the distribution package. In case of problems just leave me a message.

<div>1: OpenCms-jBPM </div>
<div>2: Bearingpoint-OpenCms-Modules Commons </div>
