My JSP page contains two submit button "next" and

[vijayan]

I have a jsp file (enterAddress.jsp") which contain two submit buttons with

different captions like below:

<input type="submit" name="next" value="next"/>
<input type="submit" name="back" value="back"/>

And My web-flow.xml is given below:

<view-state id = "enterAddress" view = "enterAddress">
<transition on="submit" to="displayData">
<action bean="multiPageFormAction" method="bindAndValidate" />
</transition>
<transition on="back" to="enterName">
<action bean="multiPageFormAction" method="bindAndValidate" />
</transition>

</view-state>

In this web-flow.xml "dispalyData" and "enterName" are two jsp files...
On clicking "next" button i want to display "displayData.jsp"
and on clicking "back" button i want to display "enterName.jsp".

My problem is:
Here whether i click the "next" button or "back" button the same page
is coming (disPlayData.jsp). I need the "enterName.jsp" if i click
the back button.......For this whatever changes i needed in
"enterAddress.jsp" and "web-flow.xml"????????

I believe SWF interprets a form submission as a submit event. This can be overridden by providing an explicit '_eventId' value in your form post. There are a few finer points with which you should be familiar.

Naming a submit button '_eventId' means that you must provide the desired event id as the button value. This often doesn't make for a very good button name. Also, multiple submit buttons named '_eventId' will cause a problem when you submit your form. Naturally, SWF will not handle two events in one request.

Try this instead:

<input type="submit" name="_eventId_next" value="Next"/> 
<input type="submit" name="_eventId_back" value="Back"/>

You also need to change your transition:

<view-state id = "enterAddress" view = "enterAddress"> 
     <transition on="next" to="displayData"> 
          <action bean="multiPageFormAction" method="bindAndValidate" /> 
     </transition> 
     <transition on="back" to="enterName"> 
          <action bean="multiPageFormAction" method="bindAndValidate" /> 
     </transition> 
</view-state>

Hope that helps.
