Controller response type suggestion

[ian tabangay]

Hi. Im having problems processing errors and success pages after calling a
service. Is there any documentation regarding when to use a specific type of
response? I have the following questions in particular:
 - What is the difference between *request* and *view*
 - Setting the response type as either *request* or *view*, when I refresh
my browser, the form previously submitted was still processed. If, however,
I set the response type to *request-redirect-noparam *will not process the
next form since no information was passed. I try not to use *
request-redirect* to avoid displaying sensitive data on the URL. What other
alternatives do i have?
Thank you in advance.

I have but its not updated. The
http://ofbiz.apache.org/docs/control.html#RequestHandler doesn't even
describe what a response of type *request* is. The training videos barely
touches on the difference of each types. In the end, my 2 questions are
still unanswered. But thanks for your effort to help.

Yes notably http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/PQM but of course all documents are very usefull. I mean at least read them before hoping to do
anything serious in OFBiz...

Thanks. But Im already in the stage of refining my screen flows and possibly
preventing problems arriving from refreshing from a post request and
unpopulated forms because of an error in processing a service. Unfortunately
I noticed that this is also the same problem found in most screens on the
demo of ofbiz so its not much of a help as well.

http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Framework+Introduction+Videos+and+Diagrams
the # 7: UI Artifacts: Request, View, Screen, Form (20:43) is specific
if you look at the code it is pretty clear.

Im sorry. I just rewatched the video you just mentioned but I didnt hear him
discuss about difference of each request type which was what I wanted to
learn.

if your looking for what can be done it is best to have a XML editor and
look at framework/webapp/dtd/site-conf.xsd
this has the controller defined.
then by doing a search in code for each you can see how they are used.
