PageFlow stack gets corrupted when a request to nested pageflow ends prematurely
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: BEEHIVE-1217
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-1217
             Project: Beehive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Poornachandran


Scenario:

1. Please compile the attached pageflows (unzip these files into the pageflow 
enabled webapp and compile).
2. Run Controller.java pageflow and invoke "Go to Nested" action. "Go to 
Nested" on NestedPageFlowController simulates delay (using loop) and it takes 
sometime to complete the action.
3. In the meantime, invoke "Done" action, this action belongs to the outer 
pageflow and displays a jsp page.

Now, the PageFlowStack has the outer pageflow instance pushed, but the flow has 
actually come out of the nested pageflow. By repeating this process, page flow 
stack gets lot of invalid pageflow instances and after sometime, 
NullPointerException is thrown.

By adding a validation code in FlowControllerFactory before creating the 
pageflow instance and before pushing the pageflow instance to the pageflow 
stack, I am able to overcome this issue. Please update, if this is correct 
approach.
