public java.util.Collection<Flow> getFlows()
```
    Specified by:
    getFlows in interface FlowHolder
    Returns:
    the flows

public FlowExecutionStatus handle(FlowExecutor executor)
                           throws java.lang.Exception
```
    Description copied from interface: State
    Handle some business or processing logic and return a status that can be used to drive a flow to the next State. The status can be any string, but special meaning is assigned to the static constants in FlowExecution. The context can be used by implementations to do whatever they need to do. The same context will be passed to all State instances, so implementations should be careful that the context is thread-safe, or used in a thread-safe manner.
    Specified by:
    handle in interface State
    Specified by:
    handle in class AbstractState
    Parameters:
    executor - the context passed in by the caller
    Returns:
    a status for the execution
    Throws:
    java.lang.Exception - if anything goes wrong
  - isEndState
```
public boolean isEndState()
```
    Description copied from interface: State
    Inquire as to whether a State is an end state. Implementations should return false if processing can continue, even if that would require a restart.
    Specified by:
    isEndState in interface State
    Returns:
    true if this State is the end of processing
