announceEvent overwritten by redirect

[Matthew]

Hi guys

I have an if statement in my listener which throws and announceEvent
if a validation error occurs. It works fine but when I add a <redirect
event.../> into my config xml the announceEvent appears to be skipped
and everything is redirected. My logic is if an error occurs throw and
announceEvent but if all passes then the redirect kicks in. I'm
guessing the redirect takes precedence? I don't really want to have
another announceEvent for success/pass scenarios so what else can I
do?

Cheers
Matthew

This is expected behavior since <redirect> is a specialized form of
the your CFML's engine <cflocation> tag:

Ok, thanks Peter. So I'm guessing that most people have an if with an
else statement in their listener where one catches errors (and re-
shows the form with error messages) where as the other shows the
success page. My only issue with having an announceEvent on success is
if the user refreshes the page it will re-run all the save logic and
create duplicate records where as after a redirect a refresh would
just refresh the success page.

the way to solve your problem is to always do a prg (post redirct get) routine. It's really the nature of how browsers and http work and the burden of developing web applications.

Hi Peter

I saw PRG mentioned in another thread recently so I'll have a search
for it and I'll look on Google as well, but if by chance have a link
to a useful reference that would be great.

Cheers
Matthew
