Spring Web Flow
End-of-Life Notice
With the release of version 1.0.0 of Ervacon Spring Web Flow, the project will be discontinued. As has been widely publicized, Spring Web Flow is now an official sub project of the Spring Framework and is further developed under that umbrella.
We advice all users of Ervacon Spring Web Flow to migrate to the current release of Spring Web Flow. Visit the Spring Web Flow Portal for more information, download links and support options.
This library provides web flow functionality for the Spring Framework. A web flow captures the page flow in (part of) a web application using a simple XML definition, allowing you to split a large application into several parts. For an in depth look at web flows and the functionality they offer, read Spring Web Flows: A Practical Guide. This article also offers help building a web application based on web flows and the Spring Framework by discussing a sample application.
