[Springframework-developer] Re: webflow: flow definition inheritance

[Serge B. <ser...@gm...>]

Sorry, the letter has flown away.
And now a short example (this is just a general model):

A-flow.xml:

<flow start-state=3D"start">
  <decision-state id=3D"start">
    <!-- ... -->
  </decision-state>
  <view-state id=3D"view" view=3D"A"/>
  <import resource=3D"common-flow-beans.xml" />
</flow>


B-flow.xml:

<flow parent-flow=3D"start">
  <view-state id=3D"view" view=3D"B"/>
</flow>


So, I am implying, that the flow "B" will inherit all states and beans of
the flow "A" and in flow "B" we can redefine some states to change the flow
behaviour.


I want to define some generic flow and then create inherited flows. (At the
same we define beans in application context) I can suppose that abstract
abstract flow and abstract flow state will be useful for building inherited
flows:
<flow abstract=3D"true"...
<view-state id=3D"view" abstract=3D"true"...
