External flow-registry ?

[sLL4yeR]

Hi,

I'm doing my first steps with Spring Web Flow and JSF2. In my project I'm trying to let my application load external Web Flows.
Actually I saw that we can create a kind of flow registry hierarchy by doing something like this :

        <!-- The registry of executable flow definitions -->
	<flow-registry id="flowRegistryParent"
		flow-builder-services="flowBuilderServices" base-path="/WEB-INF/flows">
		<flow-location-pattern value="/**/flow.xml" />		
	</flow-registry>

	<!-- The registry of executable custom flow definitions -->
	<flow-registry id="flowRegistry" parent="flowRegistryParent"
		flow-builder-services="flowBuilderServices" base-path="/WEB-INF/custom-flows">
		<flow-location-pattern value="/**/flow.xml" />	
	</flow-registry>

This works fine when I define a project relative base path. So I was wondering if it was possible to load external custom flows (absolute path or maybe server context relative path).
In my project I want to have the possibility to customize some views (xhtml) and flows after having deployed my application on a server.

Is that possible?

Thanks

Hey

I want to be able to override the resource to load spring webflows from. I am using JSF 2.0 and there you can define a external loader for resource in JSF. So I want to be able to load webflows from a database as well.

I will let you know if I find anything
