[ http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SHALE-188?page=comments#action_37453 ]
Juan Ara commented on SHALE-188: -------------------------------- I already propose that long time ago. Consider the following scenario: I want to use Shale as the framework of my apps. (Unconditional premise ;) ) Most apps have a menu. I don't want to keep both faces-config navigation rules and Shale navigation rules. I want to use only Shale, as I was doing with Struts. Thus, keeping centralized my application config. I want to have menu always visible and functional. Result: (actual behaviour) I cannot jump from a dialog to another (menu). With default transitions mapped in subdialogs to an exit point, parent dialog (usually Main dialog) will be the responsible of selecting those unknown transitions. Each menu entry will start a new Subdialog which will have a default transition mapped to it's exit point. Main dialog will be responsible for handling that kind of outcomes. If you need a functional example, let me know. We already have this aproach in a fully functional app, and it's working nicely. Also, programmes don't feel strange with the dialog navigation rule and can handle entire application from shale config files. > Add a default outcome to the dialog manager > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: SHALE-188 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SHALE-188 > Project: Shale > Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Environment: Debian Linux - JDK 1.5 > Reporter: Laure Goudon > > Version from manifest: Implementation-Version: 20060326 > Hello, > When we click on the browser back button while in a dialog and then click on > another link or button, an Illegal argument exception comes (see stacktrace). > This error occurs because Shale can't find any transition for this action.
