Subject: RE: [OS-webwork] Chaining
Actions
The
ActionChainResult tells it to execute another named Action after executing
this Action. The full set of Interceptors and the Result of that Action will
be executed in turn. If you apply the ChainingInterceptor to this Action to
which you are chaining, it will copy the properties from the previous Action
(and anything else on the ValueStack) to this Action.
Let
me know if that's not clear...
Gang,
I am having a little trouble getting my actions
to chain correctly.
In fact, I am slightly unclear what the
difference between the ActionChainResult result-type and the
ChainingInterceptor interceptor is.
I want to execute two actions and have the
results of action 1 passed to action 2. My 'results' are stored in
standard java props with public getters and setters. I have the props
named the same on both actions. So... my thoughts are that WW or XW should
take from 1 and give to 2. Thats what I am hoping for.
I have used both the ActionChainResult and the
ChainingInterceptor... no luck.
When I used the Interceptor I added ONE entry
into my defaultComponentStack for the chaining interceptor. This was
at the bottom of the stack. Do I then need to ALSO add an ADDITIONAL
ref to the params interceptor? I tried this but I could not get it to
work.
So, I guess I have two questions. One, whats
the difference between the two chainers? And secondly, how do I get my
properties from Action 1 applied to Action 2. BTW.. I have had no
problem getting action 2 to be called after action1 just the results are not
set.
