Hi,

Here is the progress so far.

According to the last discussion, I stored the flow in the message context
and persist that when the flow is finished. And also I have created a
separate thread to persist the data asynchronously to the database. To
identify each mediator, I have added an id for each mediator.

I am using two tables, one for store the message flow and other one to
store the mediator details. When building the message flow, I am using a
separate data structure in which one node maps to another node set. In that
way, I can store the message flows when the message is cloning, iterating
and etc. I have explained the data structure using an example in [1]. And
the current implementations are in the repository [2] and [3].

Thanks,
