Activities and Place design wizard

[Cristian Rinaldi]

Hello:

I have a question about the design using Activities and Places.

I have a set of activities that render their views in a section. 

The behavior I want is that each activity, after an event (by example: click in next button, click in activity represented in breadcrumbs)  go to the next activity, hiding the previous view.

Top of the section, I have a breadcrumbs with the activities that happened.

Now, if I click on one of the parts of the breadcrumbs, must be return to the activity related and show the view with all his state.

The question is:  I make a map of activities that are cached? or do not use cache, and management behavior in the start method of activity, starting all over again.

The view is singleton, and managed by GIN.

The general behavior is like the behavior of a wizard.

Any ideas?

[Cristian Rinaldi]

Any idea for this problems?

whether you cache or not cache should be based on the user experience
you want to provide.

Are there objects which needs to be re-initialized when you move from
one activity to other? if yes, don't cache or atleast have some sort of
intialization method in the startActivity.

In typical Wizards, the state is maintained between screens. If you
want it behave similar to that including state maintenance, cache the
activities.

CheckOut the CachingActivityMapper. You may probably have to expand it
in your case to cache all the activities which form the various screens
of your wiazard.

My answer is not a concrete solution for your problem, but you could make use of GWTP library (some sample code is here  http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/wiki/RunningGwtpSamples )  which could help you to build easier a workflow application.

I need maintain the state between stages of wizard, therefore i need
caching the Activity. I read over CachingActivityMapper, I just wanted
to know if it was the appropriate solution.

Thanks for reply

I'm not sure why you would need additional activity management beyond
the Place Controller that you are using.   You could merely cache the
stringified place tokens and use them in your breadcrumb or hold on to
any other state that you may need. If you are using Gin then you can
configure your activities as singletons so the state won't be lost
when the Place Controller brings a different activity into fruition.
If you are not using singleton activities then a static variable may
suit your needs.
Or , perhaps try a caching solution that ensures state in between
browser refreshes.
