[Webwork-devel] New standard action

[Rickard <ri...@mi...>]

Hey

As I was working on the new TheServerSide.com code using WebWork I=20
noticed that it was very common that an action should simply redirect=20
back to the original pack which linked to it. The usual example is a=20
page listing objects, and a link would execute an action that updated or=20
removed an object, and then redirect back to the listing. Initially I=20
used the Redirect action and sent along the URL to get back, but that=20
was a bit awkward.

I have now added a new standard action called Referer which is a=20
subclass of Redirect and which simply redirects back to the original URL=20
that invoked the action. Hence, one can now simply set "referer.action"=20
as result of actions who modify the state of a page and does not have=20
result data that should be shown (other than showing the initial page,=20
but with updated contents).
