Implementing wizard like interface in struts
Hi there,
May be someone has already solved this problem. I need to implement a wizard
like page flow in my strut web application.
This is what I've done:
1. Created one big action form and put it in session scope.
2. Created action class extending DispatchAction
3. Created several jsps.
I successfully implemented the logic with previous, next, finish, and cancel
button. I removed the action form from session if the user clicks cancel or
finish buttons. The only problem i'm having is how to remove the action form
from session if the user navigates to other pages from menu bar (without
clicking cancel or finish buttons).
The other problem I'm having is how to navigate the user to first step if
he/she directly types the url of other subsequent pages.
I think i'm not the first person to face this problem. someone must have
already implemented this. Any hint will be greatly appreciated!!
There are different third party plugins for struts wizard. Do they solve my
problems?
Thanks,
semaj

My mistake, are you using s1 or s2? I was providing an s2 solution, but
on further inspection you may have been asking about s1.

How do I know? This is your application, you should know better how

Re: Implementing wizard like interface in struts

Do you really care if one instance of the wizard stays in the session?
If yes then you have to remove it yourself. You should know better
when it is appropriate to remove it based on your application state.
Struts form is just an object in the session map, so you can remove it
from session manually, this is not that big a deal.
You can add your own command into the chain of commands, so every time
your app receives a request you would check current app state and
remove objects that are not valid for that state.

No, it will not. Unless you defined the form in Rollover scope ;-)
http://wiki.apache.org/struts/RolloverScope
After 1.3.9 is released, I will check in Rollover scope features into
main Struts codebase.

Re: Implementing wizard like interface in struts
Posted by semaj <ja...@gmail.com>.
Hey Michael,
Thank you for your reply. I would like to ask you one more question. Will it
remove the form from the session if the user navigates to some other pages
by clicking one of the menu items? Let's say the user is in sign up wizard,
fills out first and second steps, but he changes his mind and clicks on the
menu items to go to other pages without completing the wizard operation.
Will the easy wizard remove the form from session?
Thank you,
semaj

Re: Implementing wizard like interface in struts
Posted by Michael Jouravlev <jm...@gmail.com>.
Try this: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/struts/dialogs-samples-2.0.war
I am sorry the online demos are not working at this moment. When you
start this demo app, select "New User Signup Wizard" link on that
start page, then check out the wizard. Notice, that the URL does not
change after you submit a request, also you can reload a page anytime,
also you cannot directly navigate to a specific page of a wizard,
which ensures that the user interface and wizard state machine are
kept in sync.
The wizard uses Easy Wizard classes (net.jspcontrols.wizard.* ), you
don't have to use them, but they simplify things. The source code for
Easy Wizard if you need it can be found at:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/struts/dialogs-2.0.zip This archive
contains the same sample application as well along with build files.
Some docs on Easy Wizard can be found at:
https://easywizard.dev.java.net/
