I am trying to temporarily save data on the server side. If possible, I would prefer to use FlashScope rather than the session since I only want to save the data temporarily. But I have just not had any luck retrieving anything that I have saved to the FlashScope. If it helps, I can provide my use case and reasoning, but this post is long enough already :)
I have read the following and will be referring to them below: Stripes state management article: http://www.stripesframework.org/display/stripes/State+Management FlashScope API documentation: http://stripes.sourceforge.net/docs/current/javadoc/net/sourceforge/stripes/con troller/FlashScope.html Stripes book: Stripes... and Java web development is fun again A method in my ActionBean returns a ForwardResolution to a JSP. So the first thing I tried was saving a String parameter to the FlashScope, but I couldn't retrieve that FlashScope in another method of my ActionBean that is invoked by the JSP, even if I add the FlashScope key as a parameter to the ForwardResolution. Since FlashScope documentation talks about redirects, I decided to try changing my ForwardResolution to a RedirectResolution. I could not successfully redirect to my JSP with the RedirectResolution (need to investigate), so I had the RedirectResolution redirect to an ActionBean method which returns a ForwardResolution to the JSP. I tried both saving the String parameter to the FlashScope as before and flashing the ActionBean instance by appending .flash(this) to the RedirectResolution, but still no luck. I noticed the state management article states, "If you redirect to an ActionBean that forwards to a JSP, the flashed ActionBean will be overwritten with the ActionBean you redirected to", so that probably explains my issues. But the Stripes book discourages redirecting to a JSP because it breaks the preaction pattern. Is redirecting to a JSP the only way to use the FlashScope? If so doesn't that mean the FlashScope would only be available in the JSP? I would like to get to it in my ActionBean. And if possible I would really like to use it with a ForwardResolution. My ActionBean methods typically return a ForwardResolution unless they modify the database in which case they would return a RedirectResolution. Any help would be appreciated.
