Re: [Springframework-developer] webflow: subflow behavior question

[Erwin V. <erw...@er...>]

Hey Steven,

I would probably do this by making the search (or filter) algorithm 
configurable for the Person flow. That way the calling parent flow can pass 
in the algorithm to use. I find that a good way to think about a flow is as 
a method: it has input parameters and can return results. So your person 
flow would be something like this, when expressed as a method:

public Person PersonFlow(String action, SearchAlgorithm algorithm)
