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