    Description

      Received in email from Tijs Rademakers <t.rademakers AT chello.nl>:
      ======================================================

      Because I cannot add a enhancement request to the ASF Bugzilla site I would like to present a possible enhancement by e-mail for the Struts Shale project.

      I like the Shale Dialog Manager feature. The implementation of dialogs and subdialogs is very handy.

      Also the possibility to give a transition back from a subdialog to a parent dialog is great.

      But what I would like in addition to this is to have a subdialog give state back to the parent dialog.

      Here is an example for when this is useful:

      A user is creating a bank account. This is the account dialog.

      On this account an account holder is already present. But the user wants to add an extra account holder.

      So the user starts a search client dialog (subdialog of the account dialog). When the client is found (the client dialog ends here)

      this client has to be added to the bank account as part of the account dialog.

      So here you would like to pass the client object from the client subdialog to the account parent dialog.

      I think that with some changes to the StatusImpl class this should be possible.

      How do you think about this enhancement?
