Annotation Type Wizard

@Target(value=TYPE)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface Wizard

Annotation that marks an ActionBean as representing a wizard user interface (i.e. one logical form or operation spread across several pages/request cycles). ActionBeans that are marked as Wizards are treated differently in the following ways:

• Data from previous request cycles is maintained automatically through hidden fields
• Required field validation is performed only on those fields present on the page

Since:

Stripes 1.2

Element Detail

startEvents

public abstract String[] startEvents

An optional list of events which mark the start of the wizard flow. An event is a start event if it is executed before the first page in the wizard flow is rendered - not if it is the result of a form that targets the wizard action. The list is used by Stripes to disable security validation of the 'fields present' field in the request, as it is not necessary for start events in a wizard flow, and can cause problems.
