Hi forum!

I'm currently evaluating ZK as a replacement for a RichFaces+JSF+Facelets solution. I'm new to ZK but I'm already impressed about the productivity. With the help of the article Integrating ZK and Spring Web Flow I was able to make a little demo webapp which integrates Spring Webflow. Very nice.

My question is: Is it possible to run whole Spring Webflows in a modal Dialog? Some control element (e.g. a simple button) should open a modal dialog. Within this dialog should run the Webflow. This webflow can consist of multiple views. When the flow is completed the dialog should close, same when the user aborts the Webflow.

Cheers,
Olaf

Olaf,

The current ZK + Spring Web Flow is based on Spring Web Flow's original assumption; i.e., Page-based, meaning each workflow-view is a new separated html page. So you can apply ZK Ajax in the scope of a view but when you want to change the workflow-view, it has to load a new separated html page.

The good news is that we will implement a real Ajax version workflow with the hope to reuse the same Spring webflow configuration xml. So each new work-flow view is simply a change in the ZK's desktop, without loading a new html page.
