[Springframework-developer] spring web flow dtd additions

[Keith D. <ke...@in...>]

Hey guys.

 

Made some minor tweaks to the web-flow.dtd tonite, adding several new
capabilities:

 

Below is a purposefully elaborate "action state" definition illustrating the
new stuff:

 

<action-state id="actionState1">

      // execute "action1" when entered, where "action1" is the id of a
selected/exported action impl in the registry (typically a spring bean
factory)

      <action id="action1"/>

 

      // execute an instance of the action impl class when entered, impl
instantiated is delegated to registry, no attempt at autowiring

      <action
class="org.springframework.web.flow.config.XmlFlowBuilderTests$TestAction"/>

 

      // execute an instance of the action impl class when entered, impl
instantiated is delegated to registry, byType autowire policy

      <action
class="org.springframework.web.flow.config.XmlFlowBuilderTests$TestAction"
autowire="byType"/>

 

      // execute an instance of the action impl class when entered, instance
is retrieved from registry by type

      <action
classref="org.springframework.web.flow.config.XmlFlowBuilderTests$TestAction
"/>

 

      // on event "event1" transition to "viewState1"

      <transition on="event1" to="viewState1"/>

 

</action-state>

 

Aside: for those new to web-flow, an action state, when entered, executes
one or more "Action" implementations (kind of like a Controller in terms of
general responsibilities of brokering between the web-tier and middle-tier.)

 

Look OK?
