Feature request for webflow

[garpinc2]

Just like you can do below I would like to be able to do equivalent for request or session attribute in a webflow.

i.e something like:
<action-state id="criteria.view">
<export scope="request"
bean="productTypeActions"
method="loadAll"/>

You could use a MethodInvokingFactoryBean for this: 

<bean class="org.springframework.web.context.support.ServletContextAttributeExporter"> 
  <property name="attributes"> 
    <map> 
      <entry key="myScAttr"> 
        <bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean"> 
          <property name="targetObject"><ref bean="objectDao/></property> 
          <property name="targetMethod"><value>getProperty</value></property> 
        </bean> 
      </entry> 
    </map> 
  </property> 
</bean>

I'm not sure I completely understand what you want to do. Do you want to take a bean from the Spring application context and put it in request scope or flow scope?

yes that's right. Either bean or bean method call result.

Similar to what happens here for servlet context attribute:

Not sure if we want to put this in the XML or not.

In any case,yes, I agree a method invoking action that can go out and put the result of some method in some scope of the flow would be a good feature.

Please let me know when the functionalilty is addressed. By the way is there a JIRA for webflow?

Just follow our change log for information about changes in future webflow releases.

I created a JIRA component for SpringWEBFLOW.
