Hi

Currently our project is running on spring web flow 1.x version. We are planning to upgrade to web flow 2.x latest version. Do you have any idea? what will be the impact? could you help me on this?

Thanks in advance

Thanks & Regards

Out of curiosity, when is 2.3.0 expected to become available?

Unfortunately we've hit the SWF-1437 bug "Two concurrent threads in an expression of a flow override the root object of evaluation context", and our release deadline is very near.

Or, what about a 2.2.2 version with this bug fixed?

Reagards,
Gabriele

Hi,

I have the same questions. When will 2.3 be out?
I need issue https://jira.springframework.org/browse/SWF-1415 (in 2.3.0 release) to be fixed.

Would be nice to have some dates here.

Regards,
Florian

Hi,
Saw that SWF-759
https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SWF-759

is getting resolved. Looks like one would be able to inject custom conversation manager. But is there a solution to inject custom flow execution repository?. There are certain tweaks we need to do and hence the question. Thx

Good article on Spring Web Flow (SWF)

Hi,

(Sorry - subject should read Spring Webflow 2.3.0)

I've been looking through the 2.3 maintenance branch and can't see any mention of how to specify JSR-303 validation groups for model validation. Will this be supported? It is in important feature of the JSR-303 API....

Regards,
Paul

[Rossen Stoyanchev]

Web Flow 2.3 won't have explicit support for validation groups as the underlying LocalValidatorFactoryBean in Spring MVC doesn't have that built in yet either (SPR-7062).

For partial validation you best bet is to continue using validation by convention -- i.e. validate{viewStateId}(ValidationContet). Optionally you could inject an extension of the LocalValidatorFactoryBean with an additional validate method that expects groups.

[Paul Wilson]

I'm not convinced. The JIRA you provided is for the @Valid annotation specifically and I don't think that even Hibernate Validator supports that.

Why can't you cast LocalValidatorFactoryBean to javax.validation.Validator (if it is an instance of) and use that within the Validation helper along with any groups provided?
