I'm wondering if continuations in weblocks would help in the following situation.
We have an app where we would like to port the UI to a browser. A normal webapp is fairly stateless - the browser asks for info, the backend returns the info, the browser asks for more info, the backend returns the new info. Our internal app does calculations based on user input. The app takes the input and goes down a decision tree, making sub-calculations on the way. As the app goes down the decision tree, it may determine that it needs additional information from the user, but by that time it is already deep into the decision tree. The current app just issues a read-line with a question for that particular data and pauses. It gets the additional info and continues on its merry way. Getting that type of behavior (being able to continue from deep in the decision tree) from a traditional webapp seems difficult. Is this something that continuations, as expressed in weblocks, would address?
