Briefly, in a flow definition file (*-flow.xml) actions are executed via :

 <evaluate expression="SomeAction" />

where "SomeAction" is defined in the corresponding bean definition
file (*-beans.xml) :

<bean id="SomeAction"
  class="org.example.SomeAction" scope="prototype"
  p:someProperty="someValue" />

for example. Flow definition files support inheritance, so when
looking at existing flows be aware of the parent attribute defined on
the <flow /> element.
