Wizard Step 2 RELOAD is resetting the Properties/Variables.

Hello Folks,

 

I created a Visualforce wizard with 1 controller Class and 2 Visual Force pages.

 

 

Issue Description :

 

  • If i open the WizardPage1.page and the  Click Next button - my script Inserts a new account Record ,set a String property AccountId with the inserted Account's Id and redirect to WizardPage2 .
  • Now on WizardPage2  if i reload(F5 / Mouse RightClick "Reload /")the page .It inserts another account record. whereas i am expecting the "AccountId" property to retain the First inserted account (Seems it is getting reset on reload of page)
  • Then I added a "Back" button on WizardPage2 and tried  follwoing

 

    • Go to WizardPage1 Click Next - (Account Created) redirected to WizardPage2.
    • Clicked "Back" on WizardPage2 and reached WizardPage1.
    • From WizardPage1 again clicked Next and reached "WizardPage2.
    • Now if i Reload the page Account is not getting created again and i can access value of property "AccountId".
    •  

       

       

      Below is my controller and VF pages.

      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Class Start

      public with sharing class customWizardcontroller {
      public Account objBidpricing {get;set;}
      public String AccountId {get;set;}
      public customWizardcontroller()
      {
      try{
      objBidpricing = new Account(Name = 'Wizard testing');
      }
      catch(Exception e)
      {
      //Handle Exception  
      }
      }
      public Pagereference goNextStep()
      {
      try{
      if (AccountId ==  null ||  AccountId == '')
      {
      insert objBidpricing;
      AccountId = objBidpricing.Id;
      }
      return Page.WizardPage2;
      }
      catch(Exception e)
      {
      //Handle Exception
      }
      }

      public with sharing class customWizardcontroller {
      public Account objAccount{get;set;}

      public String AccountId {get;set;}

       

      //Constructor

      public customWizardcontroller()

      {

        try{

          objAccount= new Account(Name = 'Wizard testing');

                }

      }

      public Pagereference goNextStep()

       {

         try{ if (AccountId ==  null ||  AccountId == '')

        { insert objAccount; AccountId = objAccount.Id; }

       

        return Page.WizardPage2;

          }

               catch(Exception e) { //Handle Exception }

        }

       

      }

    Each VF page gets associated with it's own instance of the controller.

     

    You need to pass the Id of the Account obj from the controller instance for WizardPage1 to controller instance for WizardPage2. You can use code like this:

     

    ApexPages.PageReference pRef = Page.WizardPage2;
    pRef.getParameters().put('id', AccountId);
    and then extract that Id in the instance of the controller used by WizardPage2 i.e.
    String acctId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id');

    this.acctId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id');

    Then you can query for the Account using the acctId, prior to instantiating a new Account in your controller's constructor.

    if (acctId != null) {
        this.objAccount = [SELECT Id FROM Account where Id = :acctId];
    }
