This issue depends on:

~~SWF-87~~ View template support including automatic bookmark-friendly flow URL generation and a <spring:webflow> tag library.

Description

« Hide

Currently, you have to rewrite all URLs by hand: constructs like "detail.html?_flowExecutionKey=${flowExecutionKey}" clutter every JSP (or other view template).

A possible SWF taglib springs to mind, with a tag similar to <c:url>.

Or perhaps a ServletFilter could override encodeUrl() to magically provide the key, similar to session URL rewriting provided by the default implementation of encodeUrl()? This way, the functionality of <c:url> would not have to be duplicated.

Should probably be looked into when doing view template support tags.

For our current project I already have some web flow tags created.
- Write hidden flowExecutionKey field
- render links with key, eventId
- render submit button with the correct eventId name and optional hidden flowExecutionKey field.

When interested I can share the code.

Implementation of spring web flow tags which we use in our project to render tags. Feel free to use/adopt/abuse the code.

I think this is a really good idea that could help a lot of people using Webflow. Why hasn't there been any action on this in the (more than a) year since it's been reported ?
