If you will excuse me, Mark, I wonder why you would want your response
object to determine the flow by injecting a dynamic action? You sure
that is what you want?
You sure you don't want to determine what the response object is based
on the flow rather than on what the request object says based on the
response object options? Your way of approaching this seems odd to
me.
You can do either, of course. But, if you do it the way you are
suggesting, then you are locked in when the request is submitted and
you will have to have decided on that lock the previous request. This
seems unwieldy to me, but if that is what you like, sobeit.
