As described in [1], you need to put the transition nodes under a
"transitions" child of the policy node. Note also that the current
lifecycle implementation doesn't care about specific state nodes, the
state names are only encoded as possible values of the "from" and "to"
properties (not "jcr:from" or "jcr:to") of the transition nodes.

If I understand your example correctly, what you really should be
doing is something like this:

--------------
Node lifecycle = root.addNode("lifecycle", "nt:unstructured");
lifecycle.addMixin("mix:referenceable");
Node transitions = lifecycle.addNode("transitions", "nt:unstructured");

Node release = transitions.addNode("release", "nt:unstructured");
release.setProperty("from", "CREATED");
release.setProperty("to", "RELEASED");

Node unrelease = transitions.addNode("unrelease", "nt:unstructured");
unrelease.setProperty("from", "RELEASED");
unrelease.setProperty("to", "CREATED");
--------------

Then, once this lifecycle definition has been saved, you can use it like this:

--------------
Node NodeWL= root.addNode("NodeWL");
NodeWL.addMixin("mix:lifecycle");

NodeWL.assignLifecyclePolicy(lifecycle, "CREATED");

String[] StatesAllowed=NodeWL.getAllowedLifecycleTransistions();
--------------

As a result the StatesAllowed array should contain the string "RELEASED".
