Creating your own Wizard

Creating your own wizard involves several items:

  1. Create your own Wizard Subclass. A good starting point is defaults.SequentialWizard
  2. Create your own Expresso Controller. (may be optional) WizardController takes care of much of the needed handling of the wizard during execution.
  3. Create your own editing controller (optional).
  4. Hook into WizDefinition through the basic titles and labels and use the AdditionalInfo interface to be able to add your own persistence on top of WizDefinition.
