Thanks for clearing my doubt. I was looking for a java based continuation example to handle back button and creating new browser scenarios. The pet store applicaton uses javascript based continuation to accomplish the same. The existing javaflow based continuation solution in samples do not deal with back button and new browser (clone page) scenario. I was looking at the apples block (java based) so to see if it can solve the problem and glad to know that apples block dont use continuation. well, if i want to accomplish the back button and clone page scenario in existing calculator javaflow block sample, i think i have to import WebContinuation.java and assign a variable to the sendPageAndWait of applications entry method and then call variable.dispose() before final sendPage() (by clicking submit button) , so that the rest of the continuation tree is destroyed. Thus, if the user tries press back button or clone page in the middle of flow, he wont be change the values of the application after the submit button of any one the page is pressed (ie., after termination of the application). Please let me know if my flow is correct. i would appreciate your reply. thanks, krishna --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
