Just wanted to bounce an idea off of people. We have our own custom Dialog class that makes use of a "beforeStart" attribute. Basically there are certain steps we take before each dialog. We can't really reuse a state using XML entities because the "next" transition is always different depending on the dialog.
So we have "beforeStart" which points to an "Import Wizard State." That state is application specific and in our instance we use it to load all of the javascript variables from the underlying page (the page runs in a popup) into the #{dialog.data}. I imagine that most dialogs have some common data setup that they might need and this helps solve that problem. There is still a "start" attribute which gets called after "beforeStart." Maybe this is too specific to my situation but I thought I would throw it out there. It works well for us in our application. sean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
