do you mean, defining in the applicationContext?

There are several ways to do this, and you aren't limited to a single file.

For example, my file is called "web-application-config.xml", and all it does is import the other xml files in the same directory.

Each one has their own purpose. I've got a dao-config.xml, webflow-config.xml, webmvc-config.xml, flow-security-config.xml, flow-utils.xml (for helper beans I've written), and an application-beans.xml (for all of my application-specific beans).

However, from what you've posted, it SHOULD be working...At this point I'm baffled. The bean is defined, and you're referencing it properly... I don't know what to tell you here. Something subtle is going on, so play around with it and see if you can figure it out.

>Sir InverseFalcon,
Thanks a lot for spending time to share us your knowledge...

i can't create a jira for this because others able to set it up properly and working...

i think, need to beg a time to Spring Webflow Team... to guide me on how to figure it out...

[eros]

my main goal is
1) throw exception
2) cancel the transition to subflow
3) back to originating state
3) display an error message

in my other scenario (A scenario):
1) catching the exception
2) set the error message code to messageContext
3) then its automatically back to originating state and it displays the corresponding error message.

my problem is... when I use A scenario, its still do the transition to subflow.. in other word, the behavior is different if you set the <transition on to> to a subflow state... it doesn't do the 3) of A scenario...

that's why I would like to implement an exception handler to handle that behavior (a bug?)....

>to Spring Webflow Team,
please guide me on how to figure it out because its something different... cannot see in any documentation.. thanks a lot..

any hints/ideas are highly appreciated.
