More and more I work on web applications that require rather complex navigation control in order to make behave in ways more like the type of user process control that can be fairly easily acheived in say a client application.
In the past I've implemented the MS UIP app block partially to this purpose. The xml navigation maps provided very tight control over paths that user could take through the application via MVC. I don't want to say that the UIP didn't have it's issues but it did provide a good level of user process navigation control and a lot of the good separation of concerns due to its MVC aspects. Over the years I've keep track of the UIP and it kind of has gone away. Its functionality appears to have been replaced by the PageFlow WWF variant. I also see that asp.net will soon have an MVC option but the default controller architecture doesn't appear to directly support user navigational control. Question: Is WWF PageFlow a good option for the user process navigation control in a very high volume business web application? Are there other options? =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
