1. Re: Nestting pageflow
pmuir Mar 29, 2008 12:09 PM (in response to barbacena)As I understand it, jBPM supports process composition and hence so does pageflow. I don't quite understand your use case, perhaps if you explain more fully what you want, you'll get some help.

2. Re: Nestting pageflow
barbacena Mar 29, 2008 2:17 PM (in response to barbacena)Hi Pete,
In simple, I want my pageflow to run concurrently with the parent. That is because my subflow start-page is going to open in another window. Let me give a example:
SomePageFlow.xhtml
... <page name="checkout" view-id="/cart/checkout.xhtml" > <description>Checkout</description> <transition name="credit" to="creditCard" /> <transition name="debit" to="debitCard" /> <transition name="changeAdress" to="changeAdress" /> </page> <process-state name="creditCard" > <sub-process name="creditCardFlow" /> <transition to="invoice" /> </process-state> ...
/cart/checkout.xhtml
... <s:link action="credit" value="Credit card" target="_blank" /> ...
I want my creditCardFlow to nest allowing the parent flow to keep going. The way it is, after I click to go at credit card every link at the parent will go to the creditCardFlow current state.
ps.: I actually do not open in another window (I use a tab view with a4j:page) and the link is not direct as I put in the example, but that is not the problem because changed to page navigation and everything works fine (but I really missing some pageflow functionality).
pss.: I'm running to another problem latelly. How can I use a pageflow as a subflow and as a result of a initial request? If I use the page-start to handle the initial request I can't use the pageflow as a subflow?

As I said I changed to JSF page navigation. But I really miss functionalities of pageflow.
I tried lots of things. But my SVN points that the most pomissing one was to step out the pageflow nesting the conversation and starting a new pageflow:
<s:link value="Credit card" pageflow="creditCardFlow" propagation="nest" target="_blank" />
but, although it starts the pageflow, it gives Illegal navigation and does not nest the conversation.
Any hints?
