This allows for REST-style URLs to launch flows in the general format: http://${host}/${context}/${servlet}/${flowId}

For example, the url http://localhost/springair/reservation/booking would launch a new execution of the booking flow, assuming a context path of /springair and a servlet mapping of /reservation/*.

Note: this implementation only works with ExternalContext implementations that return a valid getRequestPathInfo() such as the ServletExternalContext .
