Continuations not working with extracted method?

[Mike Aizatsky]

Hi!

I made a simple change of extracting while() loop in
TestPause.PauseInWhile class. And immediately all the continuation
stuff has stopped to work. Does it mean that I can't call pause not
from execute method?

PS I'm pasting the simple patch to check the behaviour:

Hi Mike,

no, this is one of the only limitations of the current SVN version.  
Continuations only work in the entry method. In the first release we  
will add support for other methods too. The reason for this is that  
we initially wanted to test the stability of continuations in a  
limited scope. This has worked very well for already more than a year  
in production.

Opening them up to other methods will bring along new possible  
problems and I wanted to be certain of the base first.

In a couple of weeks I'll resume development on this.

Best regards,

Geert
