Along with my transaction question found elsewhere on this forum, I am having issues beginning a business process. Basically, I have a Seam button on one page that takes the user to another page, which is the first page in a pageflow. However, I also have a process definition as well so that the state can be persisted.
Here is the button that takes the user to that first page:
<input type="button" jsfc="s:button" styleClass="submitButton" id="beginOrderButton" view="/sales/beginOrder.jspx" value="Place Order" pageflow="orderPageflow" propagation="begin"
Here is the entry for that page in pages.xml:
<page view-id="/sales/beginOrder.jspx"> <create-process definition="orderProcess"/> <begin-task /> <begin-conversation join="true" pageflow="orderPageflow"/> </page>
Here is the relevant entry in my pageflow definition:
<start-page view-id="/sales/beginOrder.jspx" name="beginOrder"> <description>Begin Order</description> <redirect/> <transition name="shop" to="shop"/> <transition name="backToConfirmation" to="confirm"/> </start-page>
Finally, here is the process-definition snippet:
<start-state name="start"> <transition to="beginOrder"/> </start-state> <task-node name="beginOrder"> <task name="beginOrder" description="Begin Order"> <assignment actor-id="sales"/> </task> <transition name="shop" to="shop"/> <transition name="backToConfirmation" to="confirm"/> </task-node>
As for the problem specifically, the button that should take me to the shop
node doesn't. It brings me back to the current page. When I mouse over that button, I see the current page, rather than the shop page, in the browser status bar.
Also, the Seam debug page shows me this: BusinessProcess(processId=49,taskId=0)
There is no taskId, and clearly the pageflow and process flow aren't happening. Any insight into this is appreciated.
Thanks.
