The sendPage() function actually returns a continuation. You can
certainly write your own wrapper function around it, to have it return
the arguments as an XML document, but this is not how it works today.
But you captured very good how a flow script works!
For Ivelin: WriteInfoToDatabase could be a JavaScript function which
invokes the Java code to do the actual writing to the database.
