[WZ> ] are you saying you are connecting FrontEndViews directly ? Without any regular action state in between ? This is unfortunately not supported, the reason is that for every call you need to call an action (which will eventually forward control to the page) .. this is for reasons of performance/stability/proper-exception-handling/consistency/maintainability etc.. > Problem 2: > > I specified '*' as default value for the search-pattern parameters - > this is ignored. Is this a feature, a bug, a flaw or a silly question? > [WZ> ] the pattern needs to be a Perl regular expression, not a wildcard (in your case the pattern matching facility would recognize this '*' as a cardinality only (like '+', '?', etc..) and that's invalid because it does not now on what to map it If you want to support any input you should not specify the pattern anyway :-) If you go to the bottom of this page: http://team.andromda.org/docs/andromda-bpm4struts-cartridge/modeling.html You will notice the link to: http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.5/guide/regexp .html#1010689 That should get you started Is this what you mean ? > I tried to solve the problem by looking at the online-store sample, but > I did not spot a similar scenario - what do yo think to add a 'beginners > real world' example like this one to the bpm4struts samples? > > [WZ> ] yeah we could, but we want also to show as much as possible what you can do with the cartridge .. I will be updating the documentation in the next weeks, I'll see what I can do Bye -- Wouter ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_idU88&alloc_id065&op=click _______________________________________________ Andromda-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/andromda-user
