Introduction of flow control and synchronization steps in Test Description

Question

Hi ALL,
          I am working on developing of Test Scripts in ATML standards. Can any one inform me how to introduce flow control (if, else, end, for, while, break etc)  and synchronization (wait etc) steps into the Test scripts. Thanks in advance.
With Best Regards,

I had a similar issue in a project I am working on. I'm not sure if I did this the "Best Practices" way or not, but it works perfectly.
In the head area of my JSP I include the following:
<f:view>
    <h:outputText id="refresher1" rendered="#{queryHandler.queryRunning}">
        <f:verbatim escape="false">
            <meta http-equiv="refresh"
                  content="5,<%=response.encodeURL(request.getContextPath()+
                          "/queryStatus.jsf")%>">
        </f:verbatim>
    </h:outputText>
    <h:outputText id="refresher1" rendered="#{queryHandler.queryFinishedRunning}">
        <f:verbatim escape="false">
            <meta http-equiv="refresh"
                  content="5,<%=response.encodeURL(request.getContextPath()+
                          "/queryResults.jsf")%>">
        </f:verbatim>
    </h:outputText>This puts a 5 second refresh meta in the header to direct the browser to the correct page based on the status of the query thread.
There are many ways to accomplish the effect you want. I suggest putting all the controls into the JSP and making use of the rendered attributes instead of the JSTL conditionals to show the controls you want for the state of the application.
