Use FlowExecutionListener

[cacho]

I´m new to Spring and I want to get access of httpservletrequest in all my webflow.

I´ve see an example on the net that did:

public void sessionStarting(final RequestContext context, final State startState, final Map input) {
        copyAttributes(context);
    }

    public void requestSubmitted(final RequestContext context) {
        copyAttributes(context);
    }

    private void copyAttributes(final RequestContext context) {
        ServletRequest request = ((ServletEvent) context.getSourceEvent()).getRequest();
        for (String name: names) {
            context.getRequestScope().put(name, request.getAttribute(name));
        }
    }

but I could´nt figure out how to add this listener to my webflow.

Could somebody give an example ?

Thanks in advance

1. Create a listener class that implements FlowExecutionListener interface or extends the FlowExecutionListenerAdapter class.

2. Add the listener to your flow execution manager

<bean id="flowExecutionManager" class="org.springframework.webflow.execution.servlet.ServletFlowExecutionManager">
		<property name="listener">
			<bean class="my.package.FlowListenerImpl"/>
		</property>
	</bean>

3. Add the flow execution manager to your controller

<bean id="workflowController" name="/*.flow" class="org.springframework.webflow.mvc.FlowController">
		<property name="flowExecutionManager" ref="flowExecutionManager"/>
	</bean>

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.0.28 logs.

this is repeating even when am using the suggested class "org.springframework.webflow.execution.servlet.Ser vletFlowExecutionManager"


Any clue how to get a ServletFlowExecutionManager in SWF 1.0.5

In the thread http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=54413 I have posted an example for SWF 2.x
