[jira] Created: (BEEHIVE-75) Page Flow Overview - additional reasons/motivations for using Page Flow

Page Flow Overview - additional reasons/motivations for using Page Flow
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: BEEHIVE-75
         URL: http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-75
     Project: Beehive
        Type: Improvement
  Components: Documentation  
    Versions: V1Alpha    
    Reporter: Rich Feit
 Assigned to: Steve Hanson 


The Page Flow Overview at http://incubator.apache.org/beehive/pageflow/pageflow_overview.html should at mention some of the main motivations for Page Flow: 

    1) centralization of Controller logic, state, and metadata
    2) self-contained pieces of a web application
    3) reusable flows (nested page flows)

I don't think it has to go into depth on #3, but it would be nice to have a diagram or blurb about this (some bit of what's at http://dev2dev.bea.com/products/wlworkshop81/articles/pg_flows.jsp , maybe).

Hey Rich, I added the follows text to the topic.  Basically stole your prose from the dev2dev article.

"
Page Flows are Nestable

Page flow nesting gives you an even greater ability to break up your project into separate, self-contained bits of functionality. At its heart, it is a way of pushing aside the current page flow temporarily and transferring control to another (nested) page flow with the intention of coming back to the original (nesting) one.

So when would you use this? Nesting is useful when you want to do one of the following tasks:

    * gather data from the user, for use in the current page flow
    * allow the user to correct errors or supply additional information en route to executing a desired action
    * show an alternate view of data represented in the current page flow
    * show the user information that will be useful in the current page flow (e.g., help screens can be easily implemented as nested page flows)

I really think #3 (nested page flows) is important, and should be mentioned at least briefly...
