[Opensource] Transition questions!

[larry hamel]

Well, this makes it clear that transitions are not clear enough :-)

Indeed there is a way, and to make it more clear, I just added the following convenience method to Controller.java

you can use the two line implementation of this method right now to transition to an "external" controller.

    /**
     * convenience method for transition to other controller
     */
    protected void transition(String newState, Class externalController, ControllerRequest req,
                              ControllerResponse res)
            throws ControllerException, NonHandleableException {

        Transition trans = new Transition("", "", externalController, newState);
        trans.transition(req, res);
    }
