 /**
 23  
  * Convenient wrapper for the result of a business process.
 24  
  * <p>
 25  
  * The <b>result</b> property returns any object generated by the
 26  
  * process that is to be returned to the presentation tier.
 27  
  *
 28  
  * The <b>messages</b> property is a list of any confirmation
 29  
  * messages to be displayed by the presentation tier.
 30  
  * These may be keys into a resource bundle, or literal text,
 31  
  * depending on whether the application is localized.
 32  
  *
 33  
  * The <b>dispatchPath</b> property returns any special advice regarding
 34  
  * the next step in the workflow. Null indicates the nominal "success"
 35  
  * path should be followed.
 36  
  *
 37  
  * The <b>data</b> property is any actual data returned from storage.
 38  
  * This may be a single record or a collection of records
 39  
  * (see <code>isSingleForm()</code>).
