integrates Spring Webflow (SWF) with Struts 2 |
Features
- Allows struts2 Struts 2 to execute spring webflows
- Allows struts2 Struts 2 actions to be invoked by spring webflow.
- Includes an interceptor that injects flow scope properties into struts2 Struts 2 actions.
- Includes an annotation-based interceptor that injects flow scope properties into struts2 Struts 2 actions.
- SWF flow execution key can be managed in the session rather than as a hidden field on the client.
...
The Struts2FlowAdapter allows a struts2 Struts 2 action to execute a webflow action-state. The Struts2FlowAdapter uses the id of the action state as the name of struts2 Struts 2 action to execute. The alwaysRedirectOnPause is disabled because whether to redirect or not is easier to control in the struts2 Struts 2 configuration files.
Step 3 - Add SWF interceptors to
...
Struts's struts.xml configuration file

<interceptors> <interceptor name="sessionFlowExecKey" class="com.googlecode.struts2webflow.SessionFlowExecKeyInterceptor"/> <interceptor name="annotationflowScope" class="com.googlecode.struts2webflow.annotations.AnnotationFlowScopeInterceptor"/> </interceptors> |
The SessionFlowExecKeyInterceptor puts the flow execution key in the session rather than having it as a hidden field on the form that submitted back. The AnnotationFlowScopeInterceptor uses annotations to bind struts2 Struts 2 action variables to and from flow scope. Before an action executes, this interceptor looks for @FlowIn annotated properties of the struts2 Struts 2 action and populates the these actions from flow scope. After the action has executed, properties annotated with the @FlowOut annotation are put back into flow scope.
