[Seaside] flow

[Julian Fitzell]

Hi Milan,

The problem is that both #respond: causes the callback processing to
immediately halt so a response can be returned.

You can do other stuff in the #respond: block, which will of course happen
before the response is returned. You can also respond separately:

-------
self requestContext response
      contentType: 'application/pdf';
      document: (StandardFileStream readOnlyFileFullyNamed: fileName );
      attachmentWithFileName: fileName.

"some other stuff"

self requestContext respond.
----------

However, if your #answer is in response to a #call: that won't work either,
since that will cause the continuation to be invoked and control flow will
return to the method that did the #call: (your response will still be
configured, but the code after the #call: will be executed, possibly
altering the response). In this case, you could possibly use #home on the
calling component to remove its delegations, but I'd question why you were
using #call:/#answer: at all.

If the #answer is in response to a #show: or is triggering an #onAnswer:
block in an embedded component, it should work fine to #answer inside the
#respond: block.

Hope that's helpful.

Julian
