Method Detail

getDefinitionLocator

public static FlowDefinitionLocator getDefinitionLocator(javax.faces.context.FacesContext context)

Returns the locator for flow definitions to use in a JSF environment. Searches for a bean in the root web application context named FLOW_DEFINITION_LOCATOR_BEAN_NAME. A bean of type FlowDefinitionLocator must exist by this name.

Parameters:

context - the faces context

Returns:

the flow definition locator

getExecutionRepository

public static FlowExecutionRepository getExecutionRepository(javax.faces.context.FacesContext context)

Returns the flow execution repository to use in a JSF environment. Searches for a bean in the root web application context named FLOW_EXECUTION_REPOSITORY_BEAN_NAME. If no such bean exists with this name, falls back on the repository configured by a bean with name FLOW_EXECUTOR_BEAN_NAME. If no bean exists with that name, uses the default 'simple' repository implementation.

Parameters:

context - the faces context

Returns:

the flow execution repository

getExecutionFactory

public static FlowExecutionFactory getExecutionFactory(javax.faces.context.FacesContext context)

Returns the flow execution factory to use in a JSF environment. Searches for a bean in the root web application context named FLOW_EXECUTION_FACTORY_BEAN_NAME. If no such bean exists with this name, falls back on the repository configured by a bean with name FLOW_EXECUTOR_BEAN_NAME. If no bean exists with that name, uses the default factory implementation.
