- * Each action executed by this action state may be provisioned with a set of arbitrary execution properties. These - * properties are made available to the action at execution time and may be used to influence action execution behavior. - *
- * Common action execution properties include: - *
- *
| Property | - *Description | - *
|---|---|
| name | - *The 'name' property is used as a qualifier for an action's result event, and is typically used to allow the flow
- * to respond to a specific action's outcome within a larger action chain. For example, if an action named
- * myAction returns a success result, a transition that matches on event
- * myAction.success will be searched, and if found, executed. If this action is not assigned a name a
- * transition for the base success event will be searched and if found, executed.- * This is useful in situations where you want to execute actions in an ordered chain as part of one action state, and - * wish to transition on the result of the last one in the chain. For example: - * - * - * <action-state id="setupForm"> - * <action name="setup" bean="myAction" method="setupForm"/> - * <action name="referenceData" bean="myAction" method="setupReferenceData"/> - * <transition on="referenceData.success" to="displayForm"/> - * </action-state> - *- * - * When the 'setupForm' state above is entered, the 'setup' action will execute, followed by the 'referenceData' action. - * After 'referenceData' execution, the flow will then respond to the 'referenceData.success' event by transitioning to - * the 'displayForm' state. The 'setup.success' event that was signaled by the 'setup' action will effectively be - * ignored. |
- *
| method | - *The 'method' property is the name of a target method on a
- * {@link org.springframework.webflow.action.MultiAction} to execute. In the MultiAction scenario the
- * named method must have the signature public Event ${method}(RequestContext) throws Exception. As an
- * example of this scenario, a method property with value setupForm would bind to a method on a
- * MultiAction instance with the signature: public Event setupForm(RequestContext context). - * As an alternative to a MultiAction method binding, this action state may excute a - * {@link org.springframework.webflow.action.AbstractBeanInvokingAction bean invoking action} that invokes a method on a - * POJO (Plain Old Java Object). If the method signature accepts arguments those arguments may be specified by using the - * format: - * - *
- * methodName(${arg1}, ${arg2}, ...)
- *
- *
- * Argument ${expressions} are evaluated against the current RequestContext, allowing for data stored in
- * flow scope or request scope to be passed as arguments to the POJO. In addition, POJO return values may be exposed to
- * the flow automatically. See the bean invoking action type hierarchy for more information. |
