Starting a flow with parameter

[wences]

Hi,

Is there a way to start a new flow with a url like this :

<a href="flowController.html?_flowId=myflow&myparamet er=value/>


When doing this, the value set to the flowid is "myflow&myparameter=value"
instead of "myflow".

I am not sure but here is what I think:

<flow>
  <input-mapper>
    <mapping source="myparameter" target="flowScope.myparameter"/>
  </input-mapper>
...

</flow>

This works with parameter passing from a flow to a subflow but I think it also works with URL parameters.

Make sure this element appears before start-state. Refer to the flow definition schema for the exact order in which of the top elements.

The URL you gave should basically work (it's a bit messed up in your post...)
Take a look at the flowlauncher sample app (http://spring.ervacon.com/swf-flowlauncher/). It uses a URL like this:

<A href="flowController.htm?_flowId=sampleA&input=som eInputForSampleA">Start Sample A</A>

And as you can see this starts the "sampleA" flow with as input "someInputForSampleA".
