scope problem

[Gideon]

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:

<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:

<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:

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

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 :-)
