Unable to continue (go to next page) but dont see any errors either

[testing123]

I have 3 pages that I am using to test, play, and learn about spring webflow. I have the following in my x-flow.xml:

<view-state id="ownerinfo" view="ownerinformation">
	<render-actions>			
		<action bean="formAction" method="setupForm"/>
	</render-actions>
	<transition on="next" to="homeinfo">
		<action bean="formAction" method="bindAndValidate"/>	
		<bean-action bean="sync" method="saveFormDataToWidget">
			<method-arguments>
				<argument expression="flowScope.formData"/>			
			</method-arguments>
			<method-result name="results"/>
		</bean-action>		
	</transition>
</view-state>

If I remove the boled bean-action, I am able to move along to the next page in the flow. With it I keep getting sent back to the same page the validator class is not causing the issue (its not checking anything currently). I have defined "sync" in my x-flow-beans.xml like so:

<bean id="sync" class="com.xactsites.producty.web.WidgetSynchronizer" />

"saveFormDataToWidget" looks like:

public boolean saveFormDataToWidget(FormData formData)
{
	System.out.println("formdata: " + formData + " to: ");
	return true;
}

This println gets printed out over and over when I try to move along in the flow. But again I am not forwarded to the next page (homeinfo). I am probably getting some error or something right? Why can I see any stacktraces in the logs? Is there a debug option I can enable to more closely follow what is going on?

Hi there,

Are you using log4j?
If not this is a very good tool to help you find out what is going wrong.

Are you using log4j?

Yes. I switched in logger and still no errors in the logs. Sorry maybe I wasn't clear enough. I can get logs, I just don't see any errors telling me why I cannot move the next page. Am I not providing enough info...I realize this seems like a lame problem...I just can't figure it out.

There must be some reason why either your "sync" or bindAndValidate action are failing. As a result, the transition rolls back and your flow re-enters the source state.

You could put a breakpoint in your debugger in the ActionTransitionCriteria.test() method to find out more.
