FTR here's its javadoc: * A filter that dispatches requests to the right action, depending on the button that was pressed in the editing form. * This is needed since the browser cannot send the form data to different URLs depending on the button pressed, and an * XHTML form has only one target URL. In previous versions of XWiki this was accomplished using javascript code, with a * fall-back on a pseudo-dispatcher inside the {@link PreviewAction}, which was on obvious case of bad code design. * </p> * <p> * The filter dispatches requests based on the presence of a request parameter starting with <tt>action_</tt> followed * by the name of the struts action that should actually process the request. For example, the button that does * <tt>Save and Continue</tt> looks like: * * <pre> * &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;action_saveandcontinue&quot; value=&quot;...&quot;/&gt; * </pre> * * As a result, when clicking the button, the request is not sent to the form's target (<tt>preview</tt>), but is * actually forwarded internally to <tt>/bin/saveandcontinue/The/Document</tt>. * </p> Hope it helps, -Vincent _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
