Description

« Hide

I'm currently using mod_proxy with Apache 2.x and Tomcat 5.5. Unfortunately I can't start a dialog when doing proxies b/c BasicDialogContext treats all view state transitions as forwards. This ends up confusing my Tomcat server. It would be better if we could specify a <redirect/> option in the view state just like you can with regular JSF navigation outcomes.

Improvement completed in nightly build 20061118. You can now declare, in your dialog-config.xml file for the basic implementation, that transitions to a particular view should be done with a redirect instead of the normal call to ViewHandler.createView(). For backwards compatibility, and philosophical compatibility with standard JSF navigation, ViewHandler.createView() is the default.

The underlying mechanism of recognizing a dialog id request parameter is built in to shale-dialog's phase listener, so it would be possible for the shale-dialog-scxml implementation to leverage this approach as well, once it was determined how to represent the request for a redirect in an SCXML configuration file.
