RE: [Springframework-developer] Any plans to add support for multiple handlers per request

[March, A. <am...@so...>]

Thanks for the reply.  I am interested in webflow but wow there is a lot
of stuff in there.  I was not sure that it was focused on multiple
actions per request.  I thought it was generally for multipage actions.

Good to hear that it has that capability.  I will take another look.  It
seems like a little overkill for what I need to do.

Basically I just want to call 1-to-many service methods for a single
request.  I want to be able to configure this in the app-context
preferably, so that I don't have to create a controller for every
request. I opened  SPR-871 to track this stuff.  I attached some code
that basically does what I want but is kinda ugly. =20

Then I thought it would be simpler if multiple controllers/handlers
could be specified for each request.  I could easily make a generic
controller bean that would have a property to know which service method
to call and would just stick the result in the model.  At the end of all
those, a final controller would return the ModelAndView.

I guess it would be nice to use webflow if it already has this
capability but I hope it is not too much trouble to set up. =20
