Freddy,

Starting a post with an evaluation of anyone's contributions to a mailing list is somewhat over the top and a little condescending. The JIRA issue sounded like... this behaviour appears odd so I am opening a bug report based on what I observed. I still think people should be encouraged to discuss issues on the lists - with some likely back and forth - unless they are quite confident there is defect. Sebastien's comments didn't seem to indicate that. Also I think your reading far more into multiple ? than was stated... they are NOT equivalent to multiple ! and were meaning to denote being puzzled by the statement of not being sure and the ensuing bug report. If you want to be picky then please refrain from twisting things.

As far as the issue is concerned... I meant to say that involves "multiple requests" not "multiple redirects". In addition, more details are required than simply rubber stamping it as a bug... such as:


- What are the URLs of the requests to A1 and A2?

- Is the FlashScope key visible as a parameter on the redirect URL?

- Is RedirectResolution being used to perform the redirect or something else? You may assume that, and indeed it would be problematic, if it was the case, but it isn't clear in the bug report.

- What happens in getMessage() on the incoming request to A2? Is the FlashScope that is obtained from the request matching the one passed in or is a new one created? The method is mentioned but what happens is not.

- Is there a delay anywhere of over 2 minutes? (Not likely but we have UrlRewriteFilter fronting our Apps and if I slowly debug step through it and then get to Stripes the FlashScope should have been cleaned up)

- Can a small self-contained reproducible case be created?  Or not?

- What version of 1.5.x is failing? Has this ever worked? If so what version of 1.5.x?

Sebastien: Getting information on the above would help your bug report IMHO.


All this is easily weeded out in a conversation vs. a bug report. Without these details the report is possibly "pointless" (I hope you did read the word "possibly" in my original reply). Personally, I wouldn't be so quick to judge - and jump to so many conclusions - on so many accounts - without more details - even if this turns out to be a clear cut bug.

Nikolaos,

While for the most part I find your contributions to the Stripes MLs
useful, detailed and informative, I think you are being somewhat
harsh here. Also the multiple "????" are not necessary, one is
enough :-)

More importantly, I believe you are incorrect. The situation described
does not involve multiple redirects, only one. A1 adds a message to
the flash scope, redirects to A2, which adds another message and
forwards to a JSP. Like Sebastien, I'd expect to see both messages in
this case.

I agree with you that one should inquire before filing a bug report,
but in this particular case, I think the bug report is justified.

Sebastien,

If you say "I don't know enough stripes to tell exactly what happens..." then why open a possibly "pointless" bug report and not post a question to Stripes user mailing list???

Personally, I am not surprised that the flashscope does not retain the messages across multiple redirects. Why should it????

As far as your problem is concerned, a simple work around that should work would be to at the start of A2 processing simply grab all messages and add them again on A2... I haven't tried this mind you but I would guess that is what you want.

Problem in flash scope and messages
-----------------------------------

                 Key: STS-812
                 URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-812
             Project: Stripes
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Context Management
    Affects Versions: Release 1.5
         Environment: Any
            Reporter: Sebastien Lorber


There is a problem in the way messages are managed in flash scopes.

Actually, when you add a message M1 on an action A1 and then redirect on the 
action A2 that add a message M2, only the M2 message will be displayed on the 
end page and M1 is lost.
The M1 message is well displayed when you don't add M2 on A2.

I don't know enough stripes to tell exactly what happens but all i know is that 
the previous flashscope is well retrieved and contains M1 message.

The request attribute "_stripes_defaultMessages" is well set with M1 on the 
beginning of the GET call but i think it is being overriden with a new collection 
containing only M2.


I guess some fix could be to do some rework on 
net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ActionBeanContext.getMessages(String)
For exemple to have a system that takes messages from the previous scope and 
add them to the current one.
