/**
 * Core, stable abstractions for representing runtime executions of flow definitions.
 *
 * <p>The central concept defined by this package is the {@link org.springframework.webflow.execution.FlowExecution}
 * interface, which represents a single instance of a top-level flow definition.
 *
 * <p>The following classes and interfaces are of particular interest:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link org.springframework.webflow.execution.FlowExecutionFactory} - An abstract factory for creating new flow
 * executions.</li>
 * <li>{@link org.springframework.webflow.execution.repository.FlowExecutionRepository} - A DAO for persisting and
 * restoring existing flow executions.</li>
 * <li>{@link org.springframework.webflow.execution.FlowExecutionListener} - An observer interface to be implemented
 * by objects that are interested in flow execution lifecycle events.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>This package depends on the definition package.
