Hi,
I have the requirement to create a wizard which will contain a dynamic list of steps, i.e. there are a predefined set of steps, but they can be repeated, performed in any order, etc, and these steps should be able to be removed, and so on.
If I were to do this with simple java beans then it is fairly trivial, but I think I might need to do it in SEAM, because I am coming from one SEAM HibernateEntitySearch managed page, launching the wizard to create a new set of objects, and then re-directing the user to a HibernateEntityHome managed page, where the user can add more objects to the newly created and saved set of objects.
Heres a brief explanation of the structure:
- There is one HibernateEntityHome seam component which contains a WizardManager (which is a standard java object, containing a collection of steps which have been captured on screen),
- This wizard manager then handles the creation of the new set of objects required, and performs the save
- Note that the save is done by instantiating a new Hibernate session from the session factory of the HibernateEntityHome containing the Wizard Manager, this has to be a new Session because the session retreived from the component in step 1 is always null
The problem with this approach is that because when the save is done, I seem to have to invoke a new session to be opened, which then causes the set of objects to be created in a different session than what is used on the Edit page, and then when I perform some modifications on the final page, I then get a NonUniqueObjectException thrown by Hibernate for one of the objects created in the Wizard when I call update.
Any thoughts?
