Early Signal should be ignored

Heya guys,

wanted to see if there is different approach than this and if this IS the best way of going about it.

Signal can be sent to a workflow definition at any time to approve/reject the process…it should only be available when the process has finished doing background work aka fetching data…etc

how to ignore/dismiss an early Signal? is there a better alternative than this?

mitigating STATE

@SignalMethod
public void approve() {
    if (state != State.WAITING_FOR_APPROVAL) {
        Workflow.getLogger(getClass()).info("Approval received too early. Ignoring.");
        return;
    }

    approved = true;
}
