[Struts Workflow] - A taglib to expose any current workflow state

[Pedro Rodriguez <pr...@accovia.com>]

I wrote this taglib (see attachment) to expose any current workflow
state.
 
Its purpose is to allow workflow-driven navigation in a jsp like that:
 
<strutsWorkflow:getWorkflowState id="myWorkflowState"
workflow="myWorkflow" />            
      
<c:choose>
      <c:when test="${ myWorkflowState == 'some_state'}">
            - A specific Action link here - 
      </c:when>
            
      <c:otherwise>
            - some other Action link here --
      </c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
 
Do you think it is a good idea or require using the Struts Workflow
framework?
 
This is the tld definition:
 
  <tag>
    <name>getWorkflowState</name>
    <tagclass>MY_PACKAGE.GetWorkflowStateTag</tagclass>
    <bodycontent>JSP</bodycontent>
    <attribute>
        <name>id</name>
        <required>true</required>
        <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
    </attribute>    
    <attribute>
        <name>workflow</name>
        <required>true</required>
        <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
    </attribute>    
    <attribute>
        <name>toScope</name>
        <required>false</required>
        <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
    </attribute>
  </tag>    
 
Thanks a lot,
