Hi all,

I thought I knew what I was doing, but evidence show that I don't...

Path-actions:

I am under the impression that path-actions are independant actions
(i.e. not ties to any page) that will execute when it is matched by a
particular URL. This is not what is happening.

The action of my form is called "processAction", but when I submit my
form, JPublish complains that there is no "processAction/index.html".
So what I did was create a blank page so that the action executes and
it does, BUT I stuff things into the context and redirect to another
page (context.put("redirect","index.html")). When I look at the logs,
JPublish has cleared the context before calling index.html. Here is a
sample of the log...

(home.bsh is the action for index.html)

The context is not cleared when the global script is called. So I made
processAction a global action and I'm still getting the same result.
Does redirect clear the context?

Thanks.

Hi Geek :)

Now let me refresh my memories....

1st of all, the PathActions *are* working the way you described and  
they are tied to the filter definition, the URL. What you experience  
is maybe a bug in 3.0?! I have to look at the code later on.

In respect of the context. Any redirect from an action will stop the  
rendering chain for the current page and the servlet will receive a  
new request *and* a new context is created for that specific request.  
I don't know if my English is good enough to explain this properly :
( sorry.

This is why some web frameworks are using all sort of tricks for  
maintaining the data on redirects:
  - use the Session
  - converting the context contents or the Session ones into an html  
encoded URL and then redirect with parameters
  - etc.

Basically a redirect will create a new server Request.

Cheers,
-florin
