You don't restore the page, you use WORedirect to get the browser to request the URL again.

How do I restore the 'previous' page with DirectActions
Hi all,
Just a quickie...
I want to return the same page a user is viewing after he clicks a
directAction. Specifically I'm talking about a language switch link in the
pageWrapper to change languages. I want a simple url like
http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/App.woa/wa/English
What I'm doing atm is adding a link with the following binding:
LanguageLink : WOHyperlink {
directActionName = aLanguage;
?contextID = context.contextID;
}
And then in my DirectAction.class I'm intercepting it with:
public WOActionResults performActionNamed(String anActionName) {
...
// Do the language switching here
...
String stringContextID = (String)req.formValueForKey(contextID);
return s.restorePageForContextID(stringContextID);
}
This mostly works... but sometimes I get errors since for no apparent reason
the WOHyperlink does not include the ?contextID thing sometimes.
Am I doing it correctly?
I just want the equivalent of returning null on a component based action.
