/** Base generic implementation of ADF flow scoped bean data control.
 *
 * Note: specific design and naming convention is applied:
 * the type T must be defined as managed bean (name flowController, scope pageFlow) 
 * in a bounded task flow definition.
 * 
 * Example definition for the type com.nicequestion.donatas.controller.SampleFlowController:
 * 
 *     <managed-bean-name>flowController</managed-bean-name>
 *     <managed-bean-class>com.nicequestion.donatas.controller.SampleFlowController</managed-bean-class>
 *     <managed-bean-scope>pageFlow</managed-bean-scope>
 * 
 * @param <T> the type of a flow scoped bean being exposed as data control
