Great stuff! It would be nice if we could introduce this with the Web =
Flow & Portlet support that's coming in Spring 1.3.

    Looking forward to hearing more about how you leveraging web-flow in =
a portlet environment!


  Hi all,=20

  We've been working to integrate Spring Web Flow with the Portlet API
  and now we have a stable-as-possible preview release of Spring Web =
Flow
  in a Portlet environment. We have documented 4 rules about how to do =
some
  common Portlet tasks, and we have ported the PhoneBook sample app to
  Portlet API.

  Thanks to Keith and Erwin efforts to decouple SWF from the HTTP =
Servlet
  API it is easy to use SWF from a PortletController.=20

  Our efforts has been directed to use HttpServletFlowExecutionManager =
from=20
  a PortletController. Our goal has been to mantain the same flow logic=20
  (FlowExecutionManager) without mimic the =
HttpServletFlowExecutionManager=20
  class.

  Then we have been applied the Adapter pattern (GoF) to provide a =
stable=20
  interface (currently Servlet API @ FlowExecutionManager) to the =
Portlet=20
  requests/responses.

  If you consider this code useful, we cand send it to you or contribute =
it the
  way you like.

  Regards.
