Allow non-dialog outcomes to be handled with ease
-------------------------------------------------
Key: SHALE-427
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SHALE-427
Project: Shale
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Dialog
Affects Versions: 1.0.4
Reporter: Veit Guna
Currently there's no easy way to include the shale dialog component into an
existing webapp that has non-dialog links like menus (always visible).
So, when entering a dialog from within a menu, it is not possible to leave the
dialog through menu links without putting all possible outcomes to the
dialog configuration (doh!).
Spring Webflow offers the possibility to include global-transitions which are
inherited to the single dialogs. But that isn't very handy, too. For example if
I add a new menu entry, I always have to remember to update the webflow (and of
course the jsf navigation rules).
Perhaps it could be configured per shale dialog whether non-dialog outcomes are
valid. In addition shale could check if a normal jsf transition for the given
outcome exists and maybe give a warning or something if not. A kind of fallback.
Other ideas are welcome.
