I am using spring webflow 1.0. I am uploading a csv
file, parsing it, and displying results before proceeding. The user has an option to download a csv
file that contains the records that did not pass validation. When I click the link in a JSP to download this
file, webflow invokes a form Action. The form action writes out a
file via getting the output stream off the response:
HttpServletResponse response = ((ServletExternalContext) context.getExternalContext()).getResponse();
I do not want to leave the jsp I'm currently on. I just want to download the
file. In other words, I do not want to transition to another state. I just want to serve the dynamically rendered
file. Everything works (I don't leave the page, and I download the file), but I'm getting the following error in my console:
_pEncydKfggPHJo8=org.springframework.webflow.engine.NoMatchingTransitionException: No transition was matched on the event(s) signaled by the [1] action(s) that executed in this action state 'downloadErrorReportAction' of flow 'myFlow'; transitions must be defined to handle action result outcomes -- possible flow configuration error? Note: the eventIds signaled were: 'array<String>[[null]]', while the supported set of transitional criteria for this action state is 'array<TransitionCriteria>[[empty]]'

Here is the relevant portion of my webflow config.
