transition issue for Basic Dialog

[Mark_Huang]

Trying to figure out a problem, please help:

1. Assume Main Page Left Menu has two links, Link A and Link B, C, etc.  Link A will display Page A content in the right panel and initialize a Dialog  (I am using the Basic Dialog), and Link B, (C, D, etc) will display Page B, C, D content in the righ panel WITHOUT initializing a Dialog. The Dialog configuration file will NOT contain any transition for those Link / Page that are not involved in the dialog.

2. Clicked Link A with the Dialog initialized
3. Clicked Link B, and I got exception throw: something like, "Transition for those pages B, C, D, ect, were NOT found for the target...".

When some pages/links are not involved in the dialog and if I click one of those pages/links from another DIALOG, is this valid scenario? Do I Have to define all the transition for those link / pages that are not part of the dialog?

Thank you very much for your help,

How about SCXML Dialog Implmentaion?

just as Tip:
1. A Shale dialogs is an interaction with the user spanning multiple HTTP requests!
2. Who says A must says B! Start/ End Dialog
3. Imagine a dialogs like UML2 diagram, state diagram, flow, etc.. they defines a user dialog that responds to user events to drive the execution of application code to complete a business goal(see Spring Webflow)!!
4. Each dialog is a unit for themselves, which can be tested in isolation, wich may be embedded as a subdialog, which can be extended but not to be interrupted!
5. The consistency of a dialog should not indiscriminately!!
6. You have to come to a decision:
--> state diagram vs Struts simple navigation action Forward!
--> using dialogs that mean You have to take care of Your State Flow!(Programmatically)
--> use Actionlistener , Notifier to clean the dialog state, evict Your Dialog!

I must admit at the beginning of my experience with Shale, I also run a search for "prêt-a-porte" solutions.
