[ http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SHALE-153?page=all ]
Craig McClanahan resolved SHALE-153.
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.0.4-SNAPSHOT
Resolution: Fixed
The current shale-dialog implementation now supports a parent/child
relationship between active dialogs, optimized for the case where the child is
in a separate window or frame (typically a popup). The client dialog has
access to the parent DialogContext via the "parent" property, or by evaluating
expressions like "#{dialog.parent}". Therefore, a client action can access the
"data" object of the parent DialogContext to synchronize state information,
either programmatically or via expressions like "#{dialog.parent.data.foo}".
Therefore, marking this enhancement request as fixed.

> ======================================================
> Because I cannot add a enhancement request to the ASF Bugzilla site I would
> like to present a possible enhancement by e-mail for the Struts Shale project.
> I like the Shale Dialog Manager feature. The implementation of dialogs and
> subdialogs is very handy.
> Also the possibility to give a transition back from a subdialog to a parent
> dialog is great.
> But what I would like in addition to this is to have a subdialog give state
> back to the parent dialog.
> Here is an example for when this is useful:
>
> A user is creating a bank account. This is the account dialog.
> On this account an account holder is already present. But the user wants to
> add an extra account holder.
> So the user starts a search client dialog (subdialog of the account dialog).
> When the client is found (the client dialog ends here)
> this client has to be added to the bank account as part of the account dialog.
> So here you would like to pass the client object from the client subdialog to
> the account parent dialog.
>
> I think that with some changes to the StatusImpl class this should be
> possible.
> How do you think about this enhancement?
