What is Bounded and Unbounded Task Flow ?

Unbounded Task Flow :-

• Unbounded task flow is a set of activities, control flow rules, and managed beans that interact to allow a user to complete a task.

• It is similar to the JSF page flow.

• When ADF Fusion project is created then, by default adfc-config.xml file is created, this is an unbounded task flow.

  

•  This task flow contains multiple entry or exit points.

          Example :-  we can access any of these two page directly by specifying the jspx page
name at HTTP request URL.

• An application contains one and only one Unbounded task flow.


• It does not have any default activity.


• Unbounded Task flow can contain one or more bounded task flow, but we unbounded cannot directly call the bounded task flow, it always refers to the jspx/jsf pages so to use bounded task flow first we have to used as a region on jspx page and then call that jspx page on unbounded task flow.

Bounded Task Flow :-

• Bounded Task Flow is a set of activities, control flow rules, page fragments, managed beans  used to interact with user to complete a task.


• Bounded Task Flow has default activity i.e contains single entry point but multiple exit point.

• Bounded Task Flow can be called on another bounded task flow.

           Here we can directly call bounded task flow on another task flow.

• Bounded Task Flow can also be called on Unbounded task flow.


• It is a re-usable task flow.
