[jsr344-experts] Re: [730-FacesFlows] Rule out using redirects with Flows in 2.2?

Hi Ed,

Using a redirect within a flow seems reasonable. Is there an issue with
supporting it I'm not seeing?

Other use cases to consider are:

  * Attempting to redirect out of a flow to a view in a calling flow.
    This is valid but a bit tricker since it includes abandoning the
    flow that's being exited.
  * Attempting to redirect into a flow without executing a flow call
    node. In this case the viewId should not be valid in the context of
    the window's current flow and should produce a 404 error.
