Re: Flowscript and return to pipeline

Hello,

in some discussions I'd heard that actions and XSP should be more and 
more replaced by flowscript. I think, this is a good idea because 
flowscript is a good way to integrate logic parts into an application. 
But with one thing I cant agree. Why shouldn't it be possible to 
return to the sitemap without sendPage? I had read some discussions 
about the decision, throwing a Exception if no sendPage existst within 
a flowscript but I think this decision was wrong.

In our current project we have to create some Beans from a Database. 
After that, this beans should be integrated into the actual pipeline, 
but this is not possible because a return after the flowscript is not 
possible so we have to use Actions instead brrrr....

Why do you have to use actions?

This is not possible but would be very very nice:

<map:match pattern="listProducts">
  <map:generate type="file" src="products.xml"/>
  <map:call function="readProductBeans"/>
  <map:transform type="jxt"/>
  <map:transform type="xslt"/>
  <map:serialize/>
</map:match>


Um, how much harder is this:

<map:match pattern="listProducts">
 <map:generate type="file" src="products.xml"/>
 <map:call function="readProductBeans"/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="listProducts-result-pipeline">
 <map:generate type="jxt"/>
 <map:transform type="xslt"/>
 <map:serialize/>
</map:match>
