requestContext add as property in a bean class

[eros]

Please give me hints if it is possible?

org.springframework.webflow.execution.RequestConte xt add as <property> in Ajax Controller bean to access the flowScope?

e.g. SearchController class inherits the org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.SimpleFormCont roller

    <bean name="searchAjaxController" class="com.company.controller.SearchController">
		<property name="propertyEditorRegistrars">
            <list>
                <ref bean="customEditorRegistrar"/>
            </list>
        </property>
        <property name="searchService" ref="searchService" />
        <property name="requestContext">
        	<bean class="org.springframework.webflow.execution.RequestContext"/>
        </property>
    </bean>

the above statement, gives me an error because the RequestContext is an Interface.

please guide me on how to access the flowScope inside the Ajax Controller.

I don't think you'll need a property for this. You can get it in your code through a static method in the RequestContextHolder:

RequestContext context = RequestContextHolder.getRequestContext();

I wouldn't recommend saving it as an instance variable. When you need the context, grab it from the holder.

This is what I'am looking for... thanks Sir.

It's to difficult to find out that static method to retrieve the requestContext by myself...

oh sorry. I was wrong. I assumed that getRequestContext method is existing but it is not.

import org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestCon textHolder

RequestContextHolder.getRequestContext() <- is not exist.

Looks like you imported the wrong RequestContextHolder. It's kind of confusing, since a class of the same name shows up in both the Spring classes and the SWF classes.

Here's the fully qualified name of the class you should import:
org.springframework.webflow.execution.RequestConte xtHolder

I forgot to include my environment.

I am using the following:
JSP 2.0
Spring MVC 2.5.2
SWF 1.0.5
Tiles 2

It seems that the below package doesn't exist..

Okay, that explains it. Didn't realize you were using SWF 1.0.x. I only have experience with SWF 2.0.x, so I won't be able to be of much help. Sorry!

[eros]

Thanks a lot Sir. Actually, I tried to upgrade to SWF2.0.x but after 7 days, unsuccessful to upgrade, maybe due to lack of fundamental experience because just started to use the SWF1.0.x this past few weeks.

Will take this opportunity to beg on your precious time to assist me to upgrade my sample search jsp page to 2.0.x...
My goal is to do the search and display the result in a grid without refreshing the page..
I'm able to do that with Ajax but the result is not included to my FormObject.
That's why I do the search again and again to print out the same result to PDF file.
But the goal is to use the previous searched result.

My apology for the hassles.
