Difference between quot;executionquot; and quot;flowExecutionKeyquot;? confusion, apologize, never

amy

Update:  I apologize for any confusion.  My original post is now visable here.  Please disregard this post as it is now a duplicate.  Thanks.FYI - This is a repost of a thread that never became visable (see this post):

Given their are two different approaches to specifying event ids, in general links are built like this:

lt;a hrcf=#8221;${flowExecutionucl}amp;_eventId=enterSearchCrit  eria#8221;gt;New Searchlt;/agt;               

When rendered, the quot;flowExecutionuclquot; contains a context relative URI which contains information about the current flow (flowId) being executed along with a variable called quot;executionquot; whose value contains information about the current execution and step of the current flow.

When dealing with forms, we specify a hidden form field named quot;_flowExecutionKeyquot; containing the value of the quot;flowExecutionKeyquot; variable which is made available by SWF (Unlike the quot;executionquot; variable mentioned earlier).

The flowExecutionKey variable seems to contain the same information as the quot;executionquot; variable which was mentioned earlier.  I'd like to better understand what the difference (if any) is between the two variables.  If they are not different, what drove the two different names?
