Re: [Springframework-developer] Web Flow - Sub Flows

[Erwin V. <erw...@er...>]

This is a valid use case (I even used it myself - duh :). I removed the=20
check and replaced it with a logging warning to notify the developer that=
=20
there is a loop in the flow and that he should double-check that that is=20
what he wants!

Thanks for the feedback!

Subject: RE: [Springframework-developer] Web Flow - Sub Flows


When doing some work with the earlier versions of webflow I did have a
case where I had a state transition to itself and would like to either
maintain the functionality or know if there is a recommended
alternative.  The particular case was with a typical
query->results->detail flow where the query could yield several pages of
data and used DisplayTag to render the results.  In order to allow users
to advance pages, I just created a 'page' action from the results view
state that transitioned back to itself, letting display tag render the
next page.
