because this is done in the called block, not by the callee.
Yes, and when sendPageAndWait returns the calling blocks flow continues with a new account accessible from the session. Maybe we need a new method such as callFunction.sorry, guys ...you've lost me here. I don't get the problem.
Do you refer to the paragraph above or the complete discussion? (I don't understand what Glen is talking about either.)
LOL. Basicly, you just need to have the foreign flowscript do its job. Results can either be returned directly or placed in the Session. It shouldn't be that big a deal.
I think Daniel's explanation makes sense - only needs somebody who has time to try it out ;-)
Btw: while working on the javaflow stuff I felt a very strong urge to refactor the sitemap-flow interface. (see the JavaInterpreter in the javaflow block. I've put a revisit into the callFunction method)
I see ... If you come up with a better interface we could take the chance that 2.2 isn't out now and deprecate the old syntax in 2.2.
