Cross-Context Flow

A Cross-Context Flow occurs when the procedure steps participating in a flow are deployed in separate web applications. A Procedure Step USE, where the procedure steps are in different web applications, is also considered a Cross-Context Flow. We will refer to Links, Transfers, and USE operations between procedure steps deployed in separate web applications as Cross-Context Flows.

There is no difference in the modeling of the flow or the procedure step USE in a cross-context application, from the modeling done for a single-context application. The difference is largely a factor of application Assembling and Deployment.

The web applications must be generated and assembled from the same Gen release and must be deployed under the same versions of the JVM and Web Application Server.

This implementation of flows for clients has no effect on client-server flows. Flows to or between servers are also unchanged.
