[html-formfu] Re: Multiple inheritence with FormFu Catalyst Controllers

Sun Apr 5 20:56:33 GMT 2009

On a second thought, I'm not quite sure if it works.

The end method looks like this:

sub end : ActionClass('Serialize') {
     my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
     $self->next::method($c);
     if ( $self->is_extjs_upload($c) ) {	
		# SNIP
     }
}

I didn't write a test or anything but I think that $self- 
 >next::method($c); sets the body already.
So my upload specific code will never be run if we add " and not  
length( $c->response->body )".
