Spring Webflow - Multiple evaluate statements in Action State
When executing mutiple expression statements in an action state you might encounter this exception
org.springframework.webflow.engine.NoMatchingTransitionException: No transition was matched on the event(s) signaled by the [X] action(s) that executed in this action state
This exception occurs because none of the evaluate statements trigger the transition. From the docs to trigger a transition a Action method has to return one of the following values
A java.lang.String value
A java.lang.Boolean value
A java.lang.Enum value
any other type success
So in our case our evaluate statements are not returning any of the event ids that will trigger a transition so we need to add the attribute element that will be set when the evaluate expression completes.
'The name of each action will become the qualifier for the actions result event' - webflow docs
Hope this helps someone, cause Spring webflows documents don't haha
