Creates a new instance of the subclassable IWorkflowDefinition class, to be persisted in the specified object store. Once you create an object, it does not yet exist in an object store. To persist the created object to the object store, you must explicitly call the Save method, or commit the object via a batch operation.

The classId parameter is the identifier for the type of class to be instantiated. The identifier can be specified as the class name constant or the symbolic name for the class. It can also be null, in which case an object of the base class type is returned. Specifying an ID (GUID) for this instance via the id parameter is optional; if one is not specified, an ID for the new object is automatically generated.

When this object is created, an associated IVersionSeries object is also created to hold the document versions of this object. Optionally specifying an ID (GUID) via the versionSeriesId parameter will assign an ID to the newly created IVersionSeries object; if one is not specified, an ID for the new IVersionSeries object is automatically generated. The reservationType parameter specifies a ReservationType constant to indicate the type of reservation for the new object (collaborative or exclusive) or whether the reservation type is the same as the default object store setting. A collaborative reservation is a reservation that any user with the appropriate permissions can check in, modify, or delete. An exclusive reservation is a reservation that only the user who creates the reservation can check in, modify, or delete.
