Activate subflow in popup (2)

[brocacef]

I'm new to Spring Webflow and want to know if it is possible to open a subflow in a popup window and if it is: how?

The popup must be modal and eventually it must return some data to the parent flow. So to be clear: I'm not talking about an async subflow as I've read in another post about subflows in popup.

Of course you can start a sub-flow in a pop-up - it's just a new window with a new request in it.

However, getting it to be modal will require some real magic, I'm not sure any browsers will let you do that! I'm sure the easiest way to do this would be to incorporate the sub-flow within your normal/actual page flow, as otherwise, how will you incorporate the results of the sub-flow in a page already loaded into the browser?
