Howard M. Lewis Ship closed TAP5-2347.
--------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

You can define such constants yourself. We should have implemented an enum for this purpose, but that horse has left the barn.

>                 Key: TAP5-2347
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2347
>             Project: Tapestry 5
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: tapestry-core
>            Reporter: Robert Hailey
>            Priority: Trivial
>
> Basically, I would change this:
> public interface Dispatcher
> {
>     boolean dispatch(Request request, Response response) throws IOException;
> }
> To this:
> public interface Dispatcher
> {
>     boolean dispatch(Request request, Response response) throws IOException;
>     public static final boolean HANDLED =true;
>     public static final boolean CONTINUE=false;
> }
> Which would let someone write "return HANDLED;" because the constants come with the interface.
> There may be other, similar, interfaces to consider such a touch up.
