Commons Chain Alternate Flows
Hi,
I'm using Commons Chain to execute a series of commands. What I'm
trying to ascertain is if it is possible to add alternate flows (e.g.
exception cases) to the chain config XML file. Currently my chain
contains a serial list of commands to execute with a common context.
I'd like to be able to define alternate chains to execute under
conditions such as exception cases but without the command that threw
the exception (or set a flag) knowing what the chain configuration was
set to - i.e. it should all be defined in the chain config - not in the
code.
Has anyone done this?
Many thanks.
Dave Hallam

Hello,
There's an article by Bill Siggelkow that explains how to
override a chain of commands with your own chain.. though that is
Struts-related..
Maybe can you reuse it?
I don't remember URL, but I m sure you will find easily with a google
search
Regards
marco

Not really sure I understand the problem, but maybe you could create a
"conditional" Filter, that handles this for you, and then set the
different
chains on this Filter (like "normal chain", "chain if exception"). This
will not be configurable by Chain XML config, but you could use Spring.

Haven't tried this myself though.
