<flow:listener for (inline)subflows only

[alpheratz]

is there a way to specify that a listener should ONLY listen to a subflow?

I have an inline subflow and I would like to give a criteria to the flow:listener referencing this ONLY.

Given:

	

<subflow-state id="scriptingSubflow" flow="scriptingInlineFlow">
  ...
</subflow-state>

<inline-flow id="scriptingInlineFlow">
...
</inline-flow>

So far, I have tried specifying:

<flow:listener ref="backToLastViewStateLifecycleListener"
  criteria="scriptingInlineFlow" />

And:

<flow:listener ref="backToLastViewStateLifecycleListener"
  criteria="scriptingSubflow" />

To no effect.

Any pointers gratefully received.

I am assuming that restricting a listener to a given subflow will be better for performance than otherwise...

Cheers,

Alph

A FlowExecutionListener observes a FlowExecution and all flows in it (parent & subflows), so you can't attach a listener to just the subflow. What you can do however is have the FlowExecutionListener test what flow is currently running and take action as appropriate. Use the methods provided by the RequestContext to do this.

Performance impact should be minimal.
