Major Description
Calling the FlowControllerFactory method createPageFlow() outside of the page flow request processor and page filter does not initialize controls correctly. The page flow request processor and/or the page filter call JavaControlUtils.initializeControlContext() to create a ControlBeanContext. However, the direct call to createPageFlow() method, eventualy drills down to JavaControlUtils.initJavaControls(), but the ControlBeanContext is null and with asserts on, this method fails. With asserts off, the method continues but the control in the page flow will not have been initialized.
