Spring webflow Value of second parameter is not passed to subflow - spring-mvc

Question

Hi, I am using spring webflow2.4.4 with spring4.1.3.
I am trying to pass values between two flows as below.
sending value from flow first xml
<action-state id="submit">
<evaluate expression="someMethod(form)" result="flowScope.saveStatus" />
<set name="flowScope.value1" value="form.value1" />
<set name="flowScope.value2" value="form.value2" />
<transition on="success" to="view" />
</action-state>
<subflow-state id="view" subflow="flow/path/view">
<input name="value1" value="value1" />
<input name="value2" value="value2" />
...
</subflow-state>
reeving data in flow second view xml
<input name="value1" type="string" />
<input name="value2" type="string" />
now in view xml I am able to receive value for "value1" what I passed from first flow but getting value for 'value2' is null.
I tried switching the position in first flow as below
<action-state id="submit">
<evaluate expression="someMethod(form)" result="flowScope.saveStatus" />
<set name="flowScope.value2" value="form.value2" />
<set name="flowScope.value1" value="form.value1" />
<transition on="success" to="view" />
</action-state>
<subflow-state id="view" subflow="flow/path/view">
<input name="value2" value="value2" />
<input name="value1" value="value1" />
...
</subflow-state>
Now I am able to see value of 'value2' but value for 'value1' receiving is null.
What is wrong here? see below debug logs for both example
1st trial
DEBUG SubflowState - Calling subflow 'flow/path/view' with input map['value1' -> 'ABCDF', 'value2' -> [null]]
2nd trial
DEBUG SubflowState - Calling subflow 'flow/path/view' with input map['value2' -> 'ABCDF', 'value1' -> [null]]
I want to pass both thew values to second flow but it second parameter is getting skipped somehow.

Answer 1

this is a very common mistake. the action state is transitioning when it gets a success and stops evaluating the rest of the commands.
you need to use <on-entry> to separate the two:
the commands you want to set or evaluate (value1 & value2)
the command that will be evaluated for the transition, here someMethod(form))
use this instead:
<action-state id="submit">
<on-entry>
<set name="flowScope.value2" value="form.value2" />
<set name="flowScope.value1" value="form.value1" />
</on-entry>
<evaluate expression="someMethod(form)" result="flowScope.saveStatus" />
<transition on="success" to="view" />
</action-state>

Thanks rptmat57, below code worked for me.
<action-state id="submit">
<evaluate expression="someMethod(form)" result="flowScope.saveStatus" />
<transition on="success" to="view" >
<set name="flowScope.value2" value="form.value2" />
<set name="flowScope.value1" value="form.value1" />
</transition>
</action-state>
