Description

Using the @InjectState annotation ,it is possible to get at ASOs, but there's no way to see if an ASO exists. This means that the application will force the creation of ASOs and the creation of HttpSession.

What's needed is an injection type of "state-flag" (and a corresponding @InjectStateFlag annotation) that injects a boolean property that indicates whether the given state already exists or not without forcing it into existence.
