Publish an Event from my WebFlow.

[Proner]

Hi,

I'm in trouble with Event Publishing.

I've got a Listener in my main ApplicationContext (Servlet Dispatcher) and some events published by this web part. All this is working fine.

But now I need to publish an event in a webflow action. This action implements an ApplicationEventPublisherAware in order to be able to publish an event.
No error while publishing, but my Listener doesn't wire the event.

Do I forget something ?
Is it possible to do so ?

I'm working with spring-1.2.7

Thank for any help

Steph

Maybe this topic is WebFlow related and must be move ?

I have never used the applicationContext listener infrastructure but it wouldn't suprise if listeners are only applicable for the context they are defined it...

Try moving the listener into the same context in which the action bean is defined.

I do remember there was a bug to do with contexts not being treated correctly in one of the earlier releases... are you using RC2.0?

This is what first come in my mind. But aren't the different contexts link together ?

I do and you may also be right ;-)

They so have a relationship, but generally it is a hierarchical one, and whilst you can see parent beans, listeners/postProcessBeans are not applied to child contexts.

In other words if you define a propertyPlaceHolder in appContext, it will *not* be applied to your -servlet.xml.

I meant which version of SWF

Good exemple. I understood.

I'm always working with the pr5 version.

Ok, I've just copied the bean declaration of my listener in the webflow xmlContext, as you told me and that's work fine.

Thank you

No worries.

Try upgrading to 1.0 RC2. Things have changed quite a lot, but it is worth it
