Abstract
Action flow fragment management includes executing a parent action flow including multiple steps. At least two steps are distinct pages of a web application. During execution of the parent action flow, an action flow fragment expression is obtained and executed using data gathered from a data source to obtain an action flow fragment identifier. An action flow fragment corresponding to the action flow fragment identifier is selected and executed. When execution of the action flow fragment completes, execution of the parent action flow continues.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- a computer processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions that are executable by the computer processor to:
- execute a first parent action flow comprising a first plurality of steps which correspond to distinct pages of a web application;
- obtain, during execution of the first parent action flow, a first action flow fragment expression comprising a function;
- execute the first action flow fragment expression, including:
- selecting a first action flow fragment from a plurality of action flow fragments;
- and
- transferring control from a first parent output control point of the first parent action flow to a first fragment input control point of first action flow fragment, to initiate execution of the first action flow fragment, the first action flow fragment configured to return control, via a first fragment output control point, to a first parent input control point of the first parent action flow, upon completion of execution of the first action flow fragment.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that are executable by a computer processor to:
- execute a first parent action flow comprising a first plurality of steps which correspond to distinct pages of a web application;
- obtain, during execution of the first parent action flow, a first action flow fragment expression comprising a function;
- execute the first action flow fragment expression, including:
- selecting a first action flow fragment from a plurality of action flow fragments;
- and
- transferring control from a first parent output control point of the first parent action flow to a first fragment input control point of first action flow fragment, to initiate execution of the first action flow fragment, the first action flow fragment configured to return control, via a first fragment output control point, to a first parent input control point of the first parent action flow, upon completion of execution of the first action flow fragment.
A method comprising:
- executing a first parent action flow comprising a first plurality of steps which correspond to distinct pages of a web application;
- obtaining, during execution of the first parent action flow, a first action flow fragment expression comprising a function;
- executing the first action flow fragment expression, including:
- selecting a first action flow fragment from a plurality of action flow fragments;
- and
- transferring control from a first parent output control point of the first parent action flow to a first fragment input control point of first action flow fragment, to initiate execution of the first action flow fragment, the first action flow fragment configured to return control, via a first fragment output control point, to a first parent input control point of the first parent action flow, upon completion of execution of the first action flow fragment.
