Web flow is ok, but I would prefer if Enums would be used for it,
it instead of strings (they're easily mapped from string and back)

Every enum is a type for it self and as such a handler
can be attached to each, unlike the string: where we have only one shot
to choose the right (natural) one.

I've recently created a small state machine for a complicated
processing to break it into managable parts.
Defining a state machine using Enums was no more complicated
than defining in a some xml, but felt a lot more natural and Java like.
(and I could use autocomplete as well :):) )

By my point of view... yes.

Actually i don't know about Spring Web Flow (never used) but besides
that i don't see any reason why not to remove it now. Class return
type is more safe then String.
