to the next view ( inscriptionFlow2 ), and a button to return to the previous view
( inscriptionFlow ).
<!-- inscriptionFlow1 view -->
<f:view>

<p>Name : <h:inputText id="name"
value="#{inscriptionFlowBean.name}"
/></p>
<p><h:commandButton value="Next"
action="inscriptionFlow2" /></p>
<p><h:commandButton value="Back"
action="inscriptionFlow" /></p>
</h:form>
</f:view>
To end a flow, just pass to the action attribute of the dedicated tag for this action
the ID of the exit point defined in the configuration file ( inscriptionFlowExit ).

Bean. The following code shows the skeleton of the inscriptionFlowBean man-
aged bean that we use in our inscription flow:
@Named
@FlowScoped(value="inscriptionFlow")
public class InscriptionFlowBean {
