NoSuchMethodException in webFlow

[4s]

hey there i have a problem here when i try making an application using spring webflow (simple app.)
the error i get is :

state 'ProcessRequest' of flow 'myFlow'; nested exception is org.springframework.webflow.util.DispatchMethodInv oker$MethodLookupException: Unable to resolve action method with name 'ProcessRequest' and signature 'public org.springframework.webflow.Event ProcessRequest(interface org.springframework.webflow.RequestContext);'; make sure the method name is correct and such a public method is defined on targetClass com._4s_.banks.web.action.MyFlowAction; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: com._4s_.banks.web.action.MyFlowAction.ProcessRequ est(org.springframework.webflow.RequestContext)


my code is here:

webFlow.xml
--------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE webflow PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD WEBFLOW//EN"
"http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-webflow.dtd">

<webflow id="myFlow" start-state="displayForm">

<view-state id="displayForm" view="form2">
<entry>
<action bean="myFlowAction" method="setupForm" />
</entry>
<transition on="submit" to="ProcessRequest">
<action bean="myFlowAction" method="bindAndValidate" />
</transition>
</view-state>

<action-state id="ProcessRequest">
<action bean="myFlowAction" />
<transition on="success" to="finish" />
</action-state>

<end-state id="finish" view="form" />

</webflow>




Action Code is :
---------------------

public class MyFlowAction extends FormAction {
public MyFlowAction() {
setFormObjectName("bank");
setFormObjectClass(Bank.class);
}

public Event ProcessRequest(RequestContext context) throws Exception {

return success();
}
}



and my servlet looks like this :
-------------------------------------------



<bean id="myFlow"
class="org.springframework.webflow.config.XmlFlowF actoryBean">
<property name="location" value="/WEB-INF/myFlow.xml" />
</bean>

<bean id="myFlowAction"
class="com._4s_.banks.web.action.MyFlowAction" />



<bean name="myApp"
class="org.springframework.webflow.mvc.FlowControl ler" />


so y do i keep getting this error??? knowing that i use the same myflow.xml with some modifications to use "ERVACON" jars insted of spring webflow pure jars

thanks alot for your time

Hi 4s,

I'm still a newb but I think your issue is in the flow declaration:

<action-state id="ProcessRequest">
<action bean="myFlowAction" />
<transition on="success" to="finish" />
</action-state>

Since you define an action bean but don't specify a method name SWF tries to call "Event myFlowAction.ProcessRequest(RequestContext context)" when it reaches that action. My guess is myFlowAction doesn't contain a method with the signature above, and that is producing the error.

-P

Doh - I guess I didn't fully read your description - well, is the capitalization on the method name correct ProcessRequest as opposed to processRequest

thanks padukes for replying but it is not about name as i changed it and it gave me the same error do u have any other idea ?

thanks alot for your time

[4s]

well i found the error :S thanks alot for your help

[padukes]

So what was the error?

[4s]

well i was imporing a wrong library thats why the error kept telling:unable to resolve action method with name 'ProcessRequest' and signature 'public org.springframework.webflow.Event ProcessRequest(interface org.springframework.webflow.RequestContext)

thanks alot for your time
