New Action Wizard

Adds a @Jpf.SimpleAction annotation to the controller class.

    @Jpf.Controller(simpleActions = {
        @Jpf.SimpleAction(name = "simpleDeclarativeAction", ...) }
    public class CustomerManagementController extends PageFlowController

Adds a minimal action method to the controller class.

    @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "customers.jsp") })
    public Forward basicMethodAction(FormBean form) {
        Forward forward = new Forward("success");
        return forward;
    }

Adds an action method that (1) takes a Form Bean parameter (provided the control method takes input), (2) calls a control method, and (3) forwards the result of the control method to a page input (provided the control method returns something other than void).

    @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "customers.jsp", actionOutputs = { @Jpf.ActionOutput(name = "returnValueName", type = model.Customer.class) }) })
    public Forward controlMethodCall(FormBean form) {
        Forward forward = new Forward("success");
        java.lang.Integer id = form.getCustomer().getId();
        model.Customer returnValueName = customerControl.getCustomerById(id);
        forward.addActionOutput("returnValueName", returnValueName);
        return forward;
    }

Adds an action that takes an item off the user request and forwards the item as an action output to a JSP page input.

    @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "customers.jsp", actionOutputs = { @Jpf.ActionOutput(name = "returnValueName", type = model.Customer.class) }) })
    public Forward getItemForDisplay() {
        Forward forward = new Forward("success");
        String param1 = getRequest().getParameter("id");
        java.lang.Integer id = TypeUtils.convertToIntegerObject(param1);
        model.Customer returnValueName = customerControl.getCustomerById(id);
        forward.addActionOutput("returnValueName", returnValueName);
        return forward;
    }

Adds an action that takes an item off the user request and forwards the item as an output form.

    @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "customers.jsp") })
    public Forward getItemForEdit() {
        Forward forward = new Forward("success");
        String param1 = getRequest().getParameter("id");
        java.lang.Integer id = TypeUtils.convertToIntegerObject(param1);
        model.Customer returnValueName = customerControl.getCustomerById(id);
        GetItemForEditFormBean outputForm = new GetItemForEditFormBean();
        outputForm.setReturnValueName(returnValueName);
        forward.addOutputForm(outputForm);
        return forward;
    }

Adds an action that takes an item off the user request and invokes a delete method on the control.

    @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "customers.jsp", actionOutputs = { @Jpf.ActionOutput(name = "returnValueName", type = model.Customer.class) }) })
    public Forward deleteItem() {
        Forward forward = new Forward("success");
        String param1 = getRequest().getParameter("id");
        java.lang.Integer id = TypeUtils.convertToIntegerObject(param1);
        model.Customer returnValueName = customerControl.deleteCustomerById(id);
        forward.addActionOutput("returnValueName", returnValueName);
        return forward;
    }

Add an action that takes data from the posted form and invokes an add method on the control.

    @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "customers.jsp", actionOutputs = { @Jpf.ActionOutput(name = "returnValueName", type = model.Customer.class) }) })
    public Forward addItem(FormBean form) {
        Forward forward = new Forward("success");
        java.lang.Integer id = form.getCustomer().getId();
        model.Customer returnValueName = customerControl.getCustomerById(id);
        forward.addActionOutput("returnValueName", returnValueName);
        return forward;
    }

Takes data from the posted form and invokes an update method on the control.

    @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "customers.jsp", actionOutputs = { @Jpf.ActionOutput(name = "returnValueName", type = model.Customer.class) }) })
    public Forward updateItem(FormBean form) {
        Forward forward = new Forward("success");
        java.lang.Integer id = form.getCustomer().getId();
        model.Customer returnValueName = customerControl.getCustomerById(id);
        forward.addActionOutput("returnValueName", returnValueName);
        return forward;
    }

Specifies the action name. For method actions this is the method name:

    public Forward actionName()

For simple actions, this is the name attribute on the @Jpf.SimpleAction annotation.

    @Jpf.Controller(simpleActions = { @Jpf.SimpleAction(name = "actionName", ...)

Specifies the control class that is called by the action, shown in bold type below.

	@Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "customers.jsp", actionOutputs = { @Jpf.ActionOutput(name = "returnValueName", type = model.Customer.class) }) })
	public Forward actionName(FormBean form) {
		Forward forward = new Forward("success");
		java.lang.Integer id = form.getCustomer().getId();
		model.Customer returnValueName = customerControl.getCustomerById(id);
		forward.addActionOutput("returnValueName", returnValueName);
		return forward;
	}

Specifies the control method that is called by the action, shown in bold type below.

	@Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "customers.jsp", actionOutputs = { @Jpf.ActionOutput(name = "returnValueName", type = model.Customer.class) }) })
	public Forward actionName(FormBean form) {
		Forward forward = new Forward("success");
		java.lang.Integer id = form.getCustomer().getId();
		model.Customer returnValueName = customerControl.getCustomerById(id);
		forward.addActionOutput("returnValueName", returnValueName);
		return forward;
	}

Specifies the parameter (= a form bean) of the action method.

	@Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "customers.jsp", actionOutputs = { @Jpf.ActionOutput(name = "returnValueName", type = model.Customer.class) }) })
	public Forward actionName(FormBean form) {
		Forward forward = new Forward("success");
		java.lang.Integer id = form.getCustomer().getId();
		model.Customer returnValueName = customerControl.getCustomerById(id);
		forward.addActionOutput("returnValueName", returnValueName);
		return forward;
	}

Specifies the JSP page or action that is the target of this action.

	@Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "customers.jsp", actionOutputs = { @Jpf.ActionOutput(name = "returnValueName", type = model.Customer.class) }) })
	public Forward actionName(FormBean form) {
		Forward forward = new Forward("success");
		java.lang.Integer id = form.getCustomer().getId();
		model.Customer returnValueName = customerControl.getCustomerById(id);
		forward.addActionOutput("returnValueName", returnValueName);
		return forward;
	}

Specifies the variable name of the data returned by the control method invocation, shown in bold below.

	@Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "customers.jsp", actionOutputs = { @Jpf.ActionOutput(name = "returnValueName", type = model.Customer.class) }) })
	public Forward actionName(FormBean form) {
		Forward forward = new Forward("success");
		java.lang.Integer id = form.getCustomer().getId();
		model.Customer returnValueName = customerControl.getCustomerById(id);
		forward.addActionOutput("returnValueName", returnValueName);
		return forward;
	}
