Class PageCallback

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.tapestry5.PageCallback

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

@ImmutableSessionPersistedObject
public class PageCallback
extends Object
implements Serializable

A way of capturing the name of a page and the page activation context so that, at a future date, the page can be invoked with that data. This kind of callback is very useful when creating more complicated workflows, where access to a page is "interrupted" with some operation before returning (via a callback) to the original flow.

Since the callback is serializable, it can be stored in the session.

Since:

5.2.0
