[Openinteract-help] calling handlers from code.

[Victor P. <ope...@ha...>]

Hi,

I wrote this handler that manages the purchasing process. It basically
checks that all the needed objects exist -- like user profile, a credit
card, etc., -- and calls appropriate action. For example, if there is no
user profile it calls up the handler for user profiles with the 'create'
task. Here's the gist of how I do it:

package OpenInteract::Handler::Purchase;

...
use OpenInteract::Handler::RegNasa;
@OpenInteract::Handler::Purchase::ISA     = qw(
        OpenInteract::GenericDispatcher
);

...

sub buy_stuff
{
	if(!$profile)
	{
		return OpenInteract::Handler::RegNasa->handler({task => 'create'});
	}
}

This seems to work fine actually. I just was wondering if there perhaps was
an interface to just run one of the actions I have defined in actions.perl
from within a handler -- without having to explicitly refer to the handler I
want to run. Seems it would be neater that way. Thanks.
