 * A way of capturing the name of a page and the page activation context so that, at a future date,
 * the page can be invoked with that data. This kind of callback is very useful when creating more
 * complicated workflows, where access to a page is "interrupted" with some operation before
 * returning (via a callback) to the original flow.
 * <p>
 * Since the callback is serializable, it can be stored in the session.
