Examples of org.springframework.webflow.execution.Action

org.springframework.webflow.execution.Action
A command that executes a behavior and returns a logical execution result a calling flow execution can respond to.
Actions typically delegate down to the application (or service) layer to perform business operations. They often retrieve data to support response rendering. They act as a bridge between a SWF web-tier and your middle-tier business logic layer.
When an action completes execution it signals a result event describing the outcome of that execution (for example, "success", "error", "yes", "no", "tryAgain", etc). In addition to providing a logical outcome the flow can respond to, a result event may have payload associated with it, for example a "success" return value or an "error" error code. The result event is typically used as grounds for a state transition out of the current state of the calling Flow.
Action implementations are often application-scoped singletons instantiated and managed by a web-tier Spring application context to take advantage of Spring's externalized configuration and dependency injection capabilities (which is a form of Inversion of Control [IoC]). Actions may also be stateful prototypes, storing conversational state as instance variables. Action instance definitions may also be locally scoped to a specific flow definition (see use of the "import" element of the root XML flow definition element.)
Note: Actions are directly instantiatable for use in a standalone test environment and can be parameterized with mocks or stubs, as they are simple POJOs. Action proxies may also be generated at runtime for delegating to POJO business operations that have no dependency on the Spring Web Flow API.
Note: if an Action is a singleton managed in application scope, take care not to store and/or modify caller-specific state in a unsafe manner. The Action {@link #execute(RequestContext)} method runs in an independently executingthread on each invocation so make sure you deal only with local data or internal, thread-safe services.
Note: an Action is not a controller like a Spring MVC controller or a Struts action is a controller. Flow actions are commands. Such commands do not select views, they execute arbitrary behavioral logic and then return an logical execution result. The flow that invokes an Action is responsible for responding to the execution result to decide what to do next. In Spring Web Flow, the flow is the controller. @author Keith Donald @author Erwin Vervaet
