scope problem

Hi,

i have a problem with a object.

the code:

one simple object called calendar

a FrormAction called CalendarFormAction

an two JSPs one for entering the data and a second to show them.

the Flow is simple:

Code:

---

<webflow id="calendar" start-state="setupForm">

        <action-state id="setupForm">
                <action bean="calendar.formAction"/>
                <transition on="success" to="calendar.view"/>
        </action-state>
       
        <view-state id="calendar.view" view="calendar.view">
                <transition on="save" to="calendar.save"/>
        </view-state>

        <action-state id="calendar.save">
                <action bean="calendar.formAction" method="onSave"/>
                <transition on="success" to="calendar.show"/>
        </action-state>

        <end-state id="calendar.show" view="calendar.show"/>               

</webflow>

---

the beans config:

Code:

---

<beans>
        <bean id="eventCalendarFrontController" name="/index.htm" class="org.springframework.web.flow.mvc.FlowController">
                <property name="cacheSeconds"><value>0</value></property>
        </bean>
        <bean id="calendarFrontController" name="/calendar.htm" class="org.springframework.web.flow.mvc.FlowController">
                <property name="cacheSeconds"><value>0</value></property>
                <property name="flowExecutionManager">
                        <bean class="org.springframework.web.flow.execution.servlet.HttpServletFlowExecutionManager">
                                <property name="flow" ref="calendar.flow"/>
                        </bean>
                </property>
        </bean>
        <bean id="calendar.flow" class="org.springframework.web.flow.config.FlowFactoryBean">
                <property name="flowBuilder">
                        <bean class="org.springframework.web.flow.config.XmlFlowBuilder">
                                <property name="resource"><value>/WEB-INF/calendar-flow.xml</value></property>
                        </bean>
                </property>
        </bean>
       
        <bean id="calendar" class="de.mk.jsek.model.Calendar"/>

        <bean id="calendar.formAction" class="de.mk.jsek.web.flow.CalendarFormAction">
                <property name="formObjectName"><value>calendar</value></property>
                <property name="formObjectClass"><value>de.mk.jsek.model.Calendar</value></property>
                <property name="formObjectScopeAsString"><value>flow</value></property>
                <property name="calendarDao"><ref bean="calendarDAOHibernate"/></property>
        </bean>
        <bean id="calendarDAOHibernate" class="de.mk.jsek.dao.hibernate.CalendarDAOHibernate"/>

        <bean id="conversion.service" class="org.springframework.binding.convert.support.DefaultConversionService" autowire="byType"/>
        <bean id="formatter.locator" class="org.springframework.binding.format.support.ThreadLocalFormatterLocator" autowire="byType"/>
        <bean id="thread.cleanupBroadcaster" class="org.springframework.binding.thread.support.DefaultThreadCleanupBroadcaster"/>

        <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
                <property name="prefix"><value>/WEB-INF/jsp/</value></property>
                <property name="suffix"><value>.jsp</value></property>
        </bean>

</beans>

---

now when i get the Object with this command at the CalendarFormAction Method onSave:

Code:

---

public Event onSave(RequestContext context) throws Exception {
        Calendar calendar = (Calendar)context.getFlowScope().get("calendar");
        context.getRequestScope().setAttribute("calendar", calendar);
        System.out.println("on saving Calendar "+ context.getRequestScope().getAttributeMap());
        System.out.println("on saving Calendar "+ context.getRequestScope().entrySet());
        System.out.println("on saving Calendar "+ context.getFlowScope().getAttributeMap());
        System.out.println("on saving Calendar "+ context.getFlowScope().entrySet());
       
        System.out.println("Calendar" +calendar.getName());
        return success();
    }

---

the calendar object are new. no data i entered at the jsp is inside.

this is my first test of Spring WebFlow so can someone help me to find my mistake?

thanks

Hi,

(i was to lazy implementing a validator)

now it works perfect,

The forum works as an excellent "rubber ducky": explaining a problem to someone, even a rubber duck (or yourself) often leads you to finding the solution :-)
