Allow users to specify the namespace to register a flow in [SWF-380]

Currently the XMLFlowRegistrar will register all flows into the root namespace. The registrar should be able to take an explicit namespace mapping for a collection of flows and register all flows in that connection with the proper namespace. This ability should be extended to the flow:registry/ element in the XML namespace configuration. For example:

flow:registry
<location path="sellitem-flow.xml"/>
</flow:registry>

would register the sellitem-flow flow in the root or `` namespace. Wildcards are still acceptable in the location tag.

flow:registry
<namespace name="/account">
<location path="/WEB-INF/account/show.xml"/>
<location path="/WEB-INF/account/delete.xml"/>
</namespace>
</flow:registry>

would register a collection of flows explicitly to a namespace. In this example there would be a show and a delete flow in the account namespace. Wildcards are still acceptable in the location tag.

flow:registry
<namespace name="/booking">
<location path="/WEB-INF/booking/main/main.xml"/>
<location path="/WEB-INF/booking/seatassignment/seatassignment.xml"/>
<location path="/WEB-INF/booking/checkout/checkout.xml"/>
</namespace>
</flow:registry>

would register main, seatassignment, and checkout flows in the booking namespace.

flow:registry
<namespace root="/WEB-INF"/>
</flow:registry>

/WEB-INF/

• account/
• show.xml
• delete.xml
• booking/
• main/
• main.xml
• seatassignment/
• seatassignment.xml

would register all flows in the subdirectories of /WEB-INF/flows to a namespace of their directories and a name of the file. In this example there would be a show and a delete flow in the account namespace. TODO: Decide what happens with the booking directory

Second try at this code

Not a good suggestion. Flows themselves provide their own namespaces.
