calling any method fixes a problem - no idea what is happening

[hamsterofdeath]

i've tracked down a problem which i cannot explain at all:

the problem can be fixed by adding the following action bean entry to a transition:

<transition on="answerDetails" to="answerdetails.subflow">
<action bean="serviceAction" method="doNothing" name="clone">
<attribute name="uri" value="foo"/>
<attribute name="value" value="bar"/>
<attribute name="var" value="dummy"/>
</action>
</transition>

what it calls is:

public Event doNothing(final RequestContext context) {
return super.success();
}

so basically, it does nothing. and yet, if i do call it, i suddenly get another(!) object passed to my subflow. how can this happen?

Hello

Use code tags the next time.

I suggest you read SWF 2.3.x documentation , special for Sub Flows
