This package defines the ActionBean interface and related classes and interfaces for writing ActionBeans.

Description

Interface Summary

ActionBean	Interface for all classes that respond to user interface events.
Resolution	Type that is designed to be returned by "handler" methods in ActionBeans.

Class Summary

ActionBeanContext	Encapsulates information about the current request.
FileBean	Represents a file that was submitted as part of an HTTP POST request.
ForwardResolution	Resolution that uses the Servlet API to forward the user to another path within the same web application using a server side forward.
OnwardResolution	Abstract class that provides a consistent API for all Resolutions that send the user onward to another view - either by forwarding, redirecting or some other mechanism.
RedirectResolution	Resolution that uses the Servlet API to redirect the user to another path by issuing a client side redirect.
StreamingResolution	Resolution for streaming data back to the client (in place of forwarding the user to another page).

Annotation Types Summary

DefaultHandler	Marker annotation to specify that a method within an ActionBean is the default handler for events if a specific event cannot be identified.
DontValidate	Marker annotation to specify that the event handled by the annotated method should not have validation run on it before the handler is invoked.
HandlesEvent	Annotation used by ActionBean to declare that a method is capable of handling a named event being submitted by a client.
SessionScope	Annotation that is used to specify that an ActionBean should be instantiated and stored across requests in the Session scope.
UrlBinding	Annotation used to bind ActionBean classes to a specific path within the web appliction.

Package net.sourceforge.stripes.action Description

This package defines the ActionBean interface and related classes and interfaces for writing ActionBeans. This should be the first stop for anyone learning Stripes. To implements a basic ActionBean you will need to become familiar with the following:

• The ActionBean interface
• The ActionBeanContext class
• One or more of the Resolution implementations (probably ForwardResolution)
• The UrlBinding annotation
• Either or both of the HandlesEvent and DefaultHandler annotations
