One of the things I really liked about Spring MVC was the fact that it was very easy to control the flow of a request. You could use referenceData() to add data that was needed on the page but not necessarily form related, then formBackingObject() for the actual pre-submission form population, and then control the processing of pre-submit and post-submit with showForm() and onSubmit()
It was also smart enough to repopulate things like referenceData if there was an invalid submission. Part of this was due to the fact that there were lots of different types of controllers - all the referenceData and formBackingObject wasn't necessary if you're just displaying a non-form page, but you could always use SimpleFormController if you needed it. I'm not seeing that kind of behavior in Struts 2. I'm not saying it's required functionality, but I certainly appreciated it in Spring MVC. Is it there and I'm not seeing it? How would you control the request like this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Question-about-Struts-2-Flow-Control-tp15190024p15190024.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
