[TYPO3-mvc] Forwarding action without loosing request parameters

[Jochen Rau]

Hi Thomas.

> 3. Variable gets assigned, forwarding to index action

Maybe you would like to invoke redirect() instead of forward(). This 
will persist your calculated address by finalizing the actual request 
and sending a new one.

class MyController extends Tx_Extbase_MVC_Controller_ActionController {

     /**
     * The main action
     * @param string $newAddress
     * @dontvalidate $newAddress
     */
     public function indexAction($newAddress = NULL) {
       // Display Form
     }

     /**
     * The calculate action
     *
     * @param string $address
     * @validate $address Alphanumeric
     */
     public function calculateAction($address) {
         $this->view->assign('address', $address);
         $this->redirect('index');
     }
}

The methods redirect() and forward() are defined in the ActionController 
of Extbase.
