Hi everybody. In 2003 I wrote an article about a possibility to go struts conform back (http://www.manfred-wolff.de/struts/articles-old/HowTo-Back.html). Struts conform means, the request must pass the request-processor. I got so many feedback, that I refactored the solution. It is now downloadable at sourceforge.net.
The Problem: Struts has no way to know where someone comes from. So there are many scenarios that are difficult with struts: - You want to repeat the last step regardless what the last step was (e.g. you added a new customor and you will add an other). - You want to switch your language but you will stay at the site, you switched the language in a generic manner. - You want to go back and forward in a use case like an installation wizzard. The struts back mechanism has a generic and convenient manner to solve such problems. It offers an own request processor, that logs all requests, that passes the request processor (all *.do, but no *.jsp). So you can configure global action-mapping to go back, forward and so on in all program contexts. There also exists a demo application that demonstrates going forward and back, and demonstrates howto switch the language in a manner, that you stay on the site you are. Pick the resources at http://sourceforge.net/projects/strutsback/ Show the homepage at http://strutsback.sourceforge.net/. Coming soon: - Support for struts 1.3 - More possibility to configure the solution - Pattern back (go back to the last Pre*Action.do) Yours Manfred --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
