Hi, You have a many possibilities. But unless you put the ActionBean in session (@SessionScope), a new instance will be created for each request. 1) Use @SessionScope. See http://www.stripesframework.org/display/stripes/annotation+reference#annotationreferen...@sessionscope Only one instance of this ActionBean will exists for each session. 2) Use @Wizard. See http://www.stripesframework.org/display/stripes/annotation+reference#annotationreferen...@wizard Request parameters that are not hidden in page will be automatically added at the end of the form in hidden fields. This is the closest solution to what you want. 3) Use @Session on the complex fields. See http://www.stripesframework.org/display/stripes/Save+ActionBean+fields+in+session 4) Save complex fields in session manually: getContext().getSession().setAttribute().
The reason FlashScope does not work is that it exists only to execute redirect-after-post. It is well documented here: http://www.stripesframework.org/display/stripes/State+Management#StateManagement-RedirectafterPost Christian -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Oberhofer [mailto:zitronenmeli...@gmx.at] Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 4:36 PM To: stripes-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Stripes-users] Problems with FlashScope - Lifetime of Object Hi there, What I want to achieve: I want to make a wizard which goes from one step to another and saves a complex object between all these requests. I thought about FlashScope but it does not work the way I want. I have troubles when using the FlashScope - approach to store Objects between two requests. The problem is, that the ActionBean which I flash is not populated in the next request. Which means, regarding to the example at the end, when the method "step2" is called, the Set is null. But why? Anyone an idea how to store and repopulate ActionBeans for using ONE and the SAME instance for the whole wizard? Thanks in advance, Regards, Christoph WizardTestActionBean.java /*---------------------------------------------------------*/ public class WizardTestActionBean extends BasicActionBean { private Set<String> setToLife = null; @HandlesEvent("step1") public Resolution performStep1(){ setToLive = new HashSet<String>(); setToLive.add("Hello"); setToLive.add("There"); return new RedirectResolution("/wizard/step2.jsp").flash(this); } @HandlesEvent("step2") public Resolution performStep2(){ if(setToLive == null || setToLive.size() != 2){ System.err.println("setToLive not populated"); return getContext().getSourcePageResolution(); } return new RedirectResolution("/wizard/step3.jsp").flash(this); } } /*---------------------------------------------------------*/ wizard/step1.jsp /*---------------------------------------------------------*/ <body> <stripes:form beanclass="itndb.stripes.WizardTestActionBean"> <stripes:submit name="step1" value="next"></stripes:submit> </stripes:form> </body> /*---------------------------------------------------------*/ wizard/step2.jsp /*---------------------------------------------------------*/ <body> <stripes:form beanclass="itndb.stripes.WizardTestActionBean"> <stripes:submit name="step2" value="next"></stripes:submit> </stripes:form> </body> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
