Incidently, the Jakarta Commons sandbox has components that deal with both continuations [1] and state machines [2].

I hope to take that beyond the prototype stage at some point. Come to think of it, SCXML opens the possibility to take one document (a.k.a state machine) and have it make perfect sense to a Shale dialog, a Spring webflow and a Seam pageflow doing similar things. Plus, it gives a direct route from the modeling layer straight to the runtime [7], for additional value. -Rahul (some long, possibly fragmented URLs below) [1] http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/javaflow/index.html [2] http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/scxml/ [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/scxml/ [4] http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/scxml/usecases/scxml-in-shale-dialogs.html [5] http://people.apache.org/~rahul/shale/dialog-delegation/ [6] http://people.apache.org/~rahul/shale/align-dialog/ [7] http://people.apache.org/~rahul/CommonsSCXML.pdf (page 2)
