Hi Senthalan, What I understood by reading your description on the behavior of the *context.currentSubject *method is that it always returns the subject of the *last-completed-subject-identifier-step* rather than the subject of the current subject identifier step. If my understanding is correct, I suggest you change it to something more meaningful name such as *context.lastSubject*.
I'm +1 with *context.currentStep.* Thanks, Harshan Liyanage Mobile: *+94765672894* Email: hars...@wso2.com Blog: http://harshanliyanage.blogspot.com/ Medium: https://medium.com/@harshan.dll *WSO2, Inc.:** wso2.com <http://wso2.com/>* lean.enterprise.middleware.
