Hey Peter, thanks for the reply.
I changed my page flow to use :
| <start-state name="teststart">
| <transition to="test1"/>
| </start-state>
|
|
| <page name="test1" view-id="/testpage1.xhtml">
| <transition name="next" to="test2" />
| </page>
|
and when I click my links I get :
pageflow is not currently at a <page> or <start-page> node
| (note that pageflows that begin during the RENDER_RESPONSE phase should use
<start-page> instead of <start-state>)
Which I had already tried.
So, I think most of my cases involve going to a new page when I start a flow,
therefore, I need to use start-state, hence thereforth, I need to determine how
to start a page flow that is compatable with the start-state syntax.
After a bit of messing around, browsing the examples (DVD Store checkout flow)
it looks like I have it working.
(Steps included for the benefit of the next poor soul with this problem)
I added a function which returns void, and annotate it with the
begin(pageflow). I also added one without the annotation so I could test the
inline pageflow/conversation starters :
| @Begin(pageflow="TestFlow")
| public void annotatedVoidFunc() {
| log.info("Annotated Voidfunc Called");
| }
|
| public void voidFunc() {
| log.info("Voidfunc Called");
| }
|
|
In my page, I created new links :
| <s:link value="Annotated Void Func"
action="#{TestAction.annotatedVoidFunc}"/><br/>
| <s:link value="inline Void Func" action="#{TestAction.voidFunc}"
propagation="begin" pageflow="TestFlow"/><br/>
|
I compiled, deployed, ran, and both links work fine.
So, I guess if you want to jump to the first page of the pageflow and have
navigation handled for you by the page flow, you need to use a void function
that doesn't return a string.
I have to confess, I am a little unclear on how action methods are handled when
they return void vs returning null vs returning a string. From this example, it
seems that it does make a difference.
Thanks again peter,
DG
