Choose next view-state dynamically based on Model state?

Question

With Spring WebFlow, is it possible to avoid hard-wiring the possible transitions between view-states ?

I am thinking of getting the name of the next view-state based on model validation rules.

That would be a way of creating a work-flow based on the model state.

Answer 1

If I understand correctly, that's exactly what WebFlow is for. Either <action-state> or <decision-state> give you the ability to examine model objects (and other objects) and choose different transitions based on what you read.
