JForum's Controller layer really lacks a standard way to deal with page flows. I want to be able to continue the original flow after challenged the users with a login screen. It took me a while (lack of docs) to figure out that ConfigKeys.REQUEST_DUMP is used to reprocess the original form post, and "returnPath" is another way to do do it.
It is okay if you don't plan to move things around, but once you start doing that, you will run into problem/minor bugs here and there. Partly because the setTemplate(view) calls are scatter all over the place.
I know
Struts is not perfect, but at least it is tested and very well documented. I hope one day JForum can adopt a standard controller framework so the learning curve for developers can be shorter.
