Re: workflow example explaination.

2002-06-14 Thread Matthias Bauer 

The values are checked before the code of your actions you derive from 
GenericAction is executed, thus preventing the user from executing an action he 
is not allowed to execute right now.

If you are looking for the exact locations, where the values are used, you can 
always do a grep on all the source files of the Workflow Extension.

It is the class ApplicationMapping, these methods are defined in. You also
need 
to tell the Struts Servlet to use this mapping instead of the standard
action 
mapping by this entry in web.xml (see the test application that is provided
with 
the workflow extension package):

 
   mapping
   com.livinglogic.struts.workflow.ApplicationMapping
  
 

Please note: this works for Struts 1.0.x only, because the action mappings
are 
defined differently in Struts 1.1.

What it says is:

- newState: when this action is executed set the state of the "login"
workflow 
to "1" and
- nextState: any action that is following must belong to the workflow
"login" 
and must set this workflow's state to 2 (otherwise a control flow exception
is 
encountered)

Please look at the test application and work through it thoroughly. This
should 
demonstrate the ideas behind the workflow package pretty well.

This logic assumes that the SuccessAction class has public setter methods 
setPrimaryWorkflow(), setNewState(), and setNextState() -- you can still 
configure them in struts-config.xml even though these property names are not 
allowed on the  element itself.

Many of the Struts elements allow  tags to be nested inside --

It is the class ApplicationMapping, these methods are defined in. You also need 
to tell the Struts Servlet to use this mapping instead of the standard action 
mapping by this entry in web.xml (see the test application that is provided with 
the workflow extension package):

 
   mapping
   com.livinglogic.struts.workflow.ApplicationMapping
  
 

Please note: this works for Struts 1.0.x only, because the action mappings are

to "1" and
- nextState: any action that is following must belong to the workflow "login" 
and must set this workflow's state to 2 (otherwise a control flow exception is
