In the struts 1 world, we used to have one form in the session...With each subsequent page in the flow, part of the form is populated...Whenever any page in the flow is requested, the state is kept and the form variables are retrieved or updated accordingly...
Is there a similar way to do this in Struts 2??? -----Original Message----- From: Al Sutton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 11:36 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Best practice - Wizard flow As I see it the problem with that approach is if I'm at stage 3, I got back two screens to stage 1, change something, when I click next I've lost all the previously entered data in step 2. -----Original Message----- From: Marco Carnevale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 May 2007 16:34 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Best practice - Wizard flow How about this. Each subsequent page in the wizard contains all the new form elements plus html hidden form elements for the previous save. This way you are hitting the sever between requests and not using the session. Each wizard screen is basically the 'state' for itself plus all previous screens.
