just as Tip: 1. A Shale dialogs is an interaction with the user spanning multiple HTTP requests! 2. Who says A must says B! Start/ End Dialog 3. Imagine a dialogs like UML2 diagram, state diagram, flow, etc.. they defines a user dialog that responds to user events to drive the execution of application code to complete a business goal(see Spring Webflow)!! 4. Each dialog is a unit for themselves, which can be tested in isolation, wich may be embedded as a subdialog, which can be extended but not to be interrupted! 5. The consistency of a dialog should not indiscriminately!! 6. You have to come to a decision: --> state diagram vs Struts simple navigation action Forward! --> using dialogs that mean You have to take care of Your State Flow!(Programmatically) --> use Actionlistener , Notifier to clean the dialog state, evict Your Dialog!
I must admit at the beginning of my experience with Shale, I also run a search for "prêt-a-porte" solutions. Sam Mark_Huang wrote: > > Trying to figure out a problem, please help: > > 1.
