How to pass parameters to spring webflow?

Question

Hi all,

First of all, I don't know how can config restful url request for spring webflow, for example,how can I invoke my webflow when type address: http://localhost/app/order/edit/1002

It's easy to write spring mvc controller to handle this,but in case of webflow, I don't know how to pass parameters.

Can anybody help me? Thanks

Is the RequestPathFlowExecutorArgumentHandler what you're looking for?

Flow executor argument handler that extracts arguments from the request path and exposes them in the URL path.

This allows for REST-style URLs to launch flows in the general format: http://${host}/${context path}/${dispatcher path}/${flowId}

<bean id="flowController" class="org.springframework.webflow.executor.mvc.FlowController">
    <property name="flowExecutor" ref="flowExecutor" />
    <property name="argumentHandler">
        <bean class="org.springframework.webflow.executor.support.RequestPathFlowExecutorArgumentHandler" />
    </property>
</bean>
