I am using this idea for some projects.
My issue is that I want to be able to map "standard" results to various
pages. I've been using ActionMessages to give feedback to the user instead
of forwarding to a seperate "thank you" style page.
So, for example, many of my actions forward back to the "list" page after
putting something informative in the ActionMessages. If the page authors
decide that some action needs to be forwarded to a specific page on
"failure", I want them to be able to simply change the "failure" forward to
something else.
Would this be difficult to implement?
Thanks,
A.
