[Trinidad] How to get out of Trinidad dialog scope with multiple dialogs

[Luhtala Santeri <Sa...@profitsoftware.com>]

We have a problem with getting out of dialog scope. The situation is as follows:

Mainpage.jspx -> Dialog1.jspx -> Dialog2.jspx

Now in the Dialog2 the user clicks a link and we need to redirect out of the JSF app to another web app and for that we want to get back to Mainpage.
We can get out of the Dialog2 scope(calling returnFromDialog) but how to get out of Dialog1 scope programmatically without any user input(submit) at that point. So in other words we want out of both dialogs scope with one submit.

For each dialog that is created, returnFromDialog needs to be called.  
I suggest to only create one dialog and then just chang the view in  
that dialog for the subsequent ones. This way, you don't have to keep  
track of the nesting level and just need to call returnFromDialog once  
to get out.

Hmm. Raising this old issue into discussion again...

It does not work this way. Calling the returnFromDialog again does not have any affect. To my understanding there needs to be a submit from the 'parent' dialog in order to close it by calling returnFromDialog.

Any other suggestions? Is there any elegant way to achieve the functionality we want?

Call returnFromDialog again right after you call returnFromDialog for
Dialog 2. Or, you might be able to initiate Dialog1 and navigate to the
second page as a regular view as opposed to opening another dialog. It
would appear in the same window as dialog1. Then you would only need to
call returnFromDialog once.

Call returnFromDialog again right after you call returnFromDialog for 
Dialog 2. Or, you might be able to initiate Dialog1 and navigate to the 
second page as a regular view as opposed to opening another dialog. It 
would appear in the same window as dialog1. Then you would only need to 
call returnFromDialog once.
