    Guidance on nested pageflows

    sonstone

      I've seen a few posts about this topic but can't get my head around what is possible. I'd like to have a main pageflow that delegates to several sub-flows rather than have a single rather large main flow; and I'd like the delegation to be controlled by the pageflow. Is this possible; and if so, could someone point me toward an example or provide some sort of starting point for me?

      Thanks,

      Daniel

          Currently the only solution we have is to use nested conversations. Check out the updated numberguess example in 1.1.1. However, we aim to support true nested pageflows in a future version of Seam (1.2).

            Great, I'm looking forward to that and thanks for the quick reply. When the true nested pageflows are added, it would be nice if there was the ability to evaluate an expression to determine the transition destination for a decision. The use case I am trying to address goes something like this:

            We have a general purpose web app that is used by several customers and the standard flow works for 90% of them. On occasion we need to add customer specific alterations to portions of the main flow. I was hoping to have a decision node that could choose which nested flow to use based off of the customer I am dealing with.

            Anyway, thanks again

              Hi,
              I'd just like to ask whether nested pageflows are now supported in Seam 1.2?
              If not, in which future version is it planned to be supported?

              Thx,
              Manuel

                Ok. I've just found this http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-157.
                So, it should be supported in Seam 1.3 ...
                Is there any planned release date for 1.3?
