Abstract
A workflow container defines boundaries within which a user interface appears on a page. The workflow container may change what is displayed on the user interface based on a current state of the workflow. Each workflow container maintains an independent association with a workflow that drives the user interface. The workflow is associated with the workflow container at a control level such that multiple workflows may be independently executed on the same page concurrently or separately.
