Hi Mike,
My preferred way is to simply call the view runmode after the update has
completed. That way you can pass variable or parameters back to the view
to prompt a message to be displayed.
e.g.
sub update {
my $self = shift;
# update the record
...
# set a message to be displayed in the view runmode
my $message = "The $id record was successfully updated.";
return $self->view($message);
}
Regards,
David

Hi,
I'm looking at CGI::Application prior to use, and one thing is unclear to me.
I'll outline a little senario to demonstrate the question:
I have a simple app with four run modes - list, view, edit & update
list does what it say on the tin - lists records in a data table
view ditto, displays a single record
edit displays a form to edit (or add) a record
update sends the posted data to the database
In my example, I would like the update run mode to then call the view
run mode, rather then simply display a rather useless 'update
complete' message.
Is there a good way to do this with CA? I suppose a simple option is
to simply have update() call view() and return the results, but I
wondered if there was a preferred solution to this?
Another thought that occurred from scanning the docs would be to put
the update function in prerun, but this seems wrong somehow.
Thanks for any assistance,
mike
