Hi again Yannick,
I finally got some time to work on this and I think I have solved it fairly
good.
First.
I removed the parent repo approach in favour for just one. That solves the
issue you had with a flow in a parent repo couldn't call a flow in a child
repo. Now, all flows are registered explicit in the same repo, for example:
<webflow:flow-location
path="generated/flows/media/createLibrary/createLibrary-flow.xml"
id="media/createLibrary"/>
Second.
If gap is specified on a task, two flows will be generated for that task,
for example:
<webflow:flow-location path="flows/media/listLibrary/listLibrary-flow.xml"
id="media/listLibrary"/>
<webflow:flow-location
path="generated/flows/media/listLibrary/listLibrary-base.xml"
id="media/listLibraryBase"/>
And here, the first one will have the second as parent.
That was the short story of it. I will update the documentation with example
etc in a couple of days.
This isn't published as a snapshot yet, if you need it you have to build it
from trunk.
regards.../Andreas
