Hi-

Could someone briefly explain to me what the new "wizard" component of
the WDK is?

Thanks,

Emily

Hi Emily

in a few words, the wizard is a mini controller for dealing with step actions such as add, insert etc.
As such there is a pseudo-struts.xml under WDK/Controller/lib/wdk, and actions defined under Controller/src/...../controller/wizard/

Sorry for the lack for documentation, it is frustrating also for us.
Jerric gave a presentation about a year ago when it was being implemented but it is probably outdated.
Let me see if we can update it and making it available.

Hi Emily,

The wizard is the way that WDK uses to drive the popup windows for adding,
inserting, and revising steps on the strategy panel. WDK provides some default
wizard stages that enables you to add/changes steps with Boolean and transform
operations, and you can extend them to incorporate more advanced steps. The span
logic operation is one such example.

Normally the wizard stages provided by WDK should be sufficient to you. When you
work on the migration, all you need to do is to change the custom question pages
if you have any, and do not include <html:form> or <form> tag in them.
