Hi folks,
I'm trying to do what I think is a common behaviour in any web application:
transit from one module to another. I'm using Shale to start a new dialog
whenever a new module is clicked.
When I'm already in, let's say, "dialog:module1" and try to go to
"dialog:module2", then I simply define a commandLink with its action being
"dialog:module2". But here is where the problem comes: seems that dialog
manager is not able to fo from one active dialog to another one, unless the
other one is a subdialog of the first one.
Obviously in my case I don't want to make module2 a subdialog of module1,
because they are completely different screens in my application.
What am I missing? How can I configure the dialog manager to switch between
dialogs? I hope this is possible with Shale. I've tried something like this,
but without success:
<dialogs>
<dialog name="Module1"
start="StartModule1">
<action name="StartModule1"
method="#{some.method.that.does.initialization.stuff}">
<transition outcome="nextModule1"
target="Next Module1" />
</action>
<view name="Next Module1"
viewId="/module1/firstScreen.xhtml">
.........
<transition outcome="changeModule2"
target="dialog:Module2" />
</view>
<end ......... />
</dialog>
<dialog name="Module2"
start="StartModule2">
<action name="StartModule2"
method="#{some.method.that.does.initialization.stuff}">
<transition outcome="nextModule2"
target="Next Module2" />
</action>
<view name="Next Module2"
viewId="/module2/firstScreen.xhtml">
.........
<transition outcome="changeModule1"
target="dialog:Module1" />
</view>
<end ......... />
</dialog>
</dialogs>
