public class SessionStateAction
extends AbstractConfigurableAction

Store the session's current state in a session attribute.

To keep track of the state of a user's session, a string is stored in a session attribute in order to allow to chose between different pipelines in the sitemap accordingly.

For added flexibility it is possible to use sub states as well. For this declare your own name for the session state attribute and give the number of sublevels plus the level to modify. (This is one based!) Sub states below the current one are removed from the session so that the default sub state will be reentered when the user returns. If you don't like this behaviour and prefer independent sub states, use this action several times with different attribute names rather than sub levels.

Global and local parameters:

state-key-prefix String that identifies the attribute that stores the session state in the session object. When sublevels are used, this is a prefix ie. the number of the level is appended to the prefix. Example prefix is "__sessionState", sub-levels is 2, attributes "__sessionState1", "__sessionState2", and "__sessionState3" will be used to store the information.
new-state String that identifies the current state
sub-levels Number of sub levels to use
state-level Sub level to modify, this is one based

Description copied from interface: Action
Controls the processing against some values of the Dictionary objectModel and returns a Map object with values used in subsequent sitemap substitution patterns. NOTE: This interface is designed so that implentations can be ThreadSafe. When an action is ThreadSafe, only one instance serves all requests : this reduces memory usage and avoids pooling.
