How to return to wizard in AbstractWizardFormController

[michal.p]

Hello.
I've got a wizard form made with AbstractWizardFormController. Wizard has 5 pages. For example in page 3 I have to go to other controller (CancellableFormController) and then.. after submit return to page 3 of wizard form.

Is it possible ? And if it is.. how can I do this ?


Best Regards

Your best bet is to just use Spring Webflow. It supercedes pretty much all the form controller subclasses in Spring MVC.

It doesn't take much effort to port Spring MVC stuff into Webflow, and webflow romps all over MVC for my 2c.

Migrating...

- Controller => FormAction

- Command => Command, but Spring Webflow commands contain less clutter since fields used to drive the UI are typically stored in flowscope rather than a Spring MVC command. In this way, a command object under Spring Webflow begins to resemble something closer to how the GOF described the Command pattern, which is interesting.

Your views are pretty much the same, with the exception being that you need to post a ${flowExecutionKey} each time as a hidden field.
