XMLForm/Flow ops

[Thor Heinrichs-Wolpert <th...@lunartek.com>]

I haven't had a clean build to try this stuff with, but I'm looking for 
some pointers.

A common flow in many of the applications I've built for trading, 
geo-science, health sciences, FM, GIS, MM, etc. a user is looking to 
manage or to get detailed information on a subject.
They:
a. Enter what they know about the subject
b. if they get a unique match, display the info/management page
c. if the result is not unique, provide a list of matches
d. user selects from the list of matches and then displays the 
info/management page

Right now this determination is in my XMLForms (although iterating 
across an XML doc is a prob).  Would this be something that the 
flowscript should be tasked with?  Can I use the flowscript to make the 
page transitions something that can be described in the sitemap?

Cheers,
Thor HW

yes, my vision is that flow will control all transitions between stages 
(also called screens, stages or, improperly, webapp pages).

I don't parse this. Can you give more info on what you want?
