This chapter shows how to use Web Flow in a Portlet environment. Spring Web Flow requires Portlet API 2.0 to run with. The booking-portlet-mvc sample application is a good reference for using Web Flow within a portlet. This application is a simplified travel site that allows users to search for and book hotel rooms.
