ADF: debugging taskflows

I was having huge hassles with my task flow rerouting to themselves. I am using routers and pageflow scope varibles across bounded task flows. Mainly failed on task flow return items that went by default to a router.

Before and after listeners in your task-flow-call are also helpful for debugging:
<before-listener>#{viewScope.chargeOutsEditBean.afterListener}</before-listener>
<after-listener>#{viewScope.chargeOutsEditBean.afterListener}</after-listener>


  public String beforeListener() {
    System.out.println("beforeListener() {");
    System.out.println("--------------------------->route Before:" + ADFContext.getCurrent().getPageFlowScope().get("route"));
    return "blist";
  }

  public String afterListener() {
    System.out.println("afterListener() {");
    System.out.println("--------------------------->route After:" + ADFContext.getCurrent().getPageFlowScope().get("route"));
    return "list";
  }
