Symfony workflow :: can go through a workflow event listener

Question

I'm not right now if many of you have already tested the symfony workflow component, but I hope some of you have :)

So, I use this component on two objects , and I want the first object to update the second strong> depending on the transition used.

To do this, I use the workflow guard listener in my first object and try to make workflow::apply on my second object (using the second workflow ...) .

The problem is that when creating workflow::can event is dispatched and it tries to apply the new status on my second object ... This is not normal at all, because I just ask if I can apply some transition, and not ask to really apply . at my first facility .
