Question About PreOpenStack

Gregory.


Glad to see you have worked it out. It is a subtle danger, that other messages can insinuate themselves into what we try to contain in what we believe is a well defined situation. This is especially true with the very similar "open/preOpen" and "stack/card" messages.

Hi Craig,

I had posted this right (see below) after you in message 21.  On reflection, the 
behaviour makes sense, and so does Mark’s suggestion that I move the main 
stack’s OpenStack handler to the card script.

sometimes emptied out some fields, but what they did not have OpenStack 
handlers.  The absence of OpenStack handlers appears to have been the problem 
because, after the the sub-stack executes its own PreOpenStack, the main stack, 
for whatever reason, executes its OpenStack.  This, of course, can be disastrous 
if the main stack is intended to initialize an app or perhaps contains sensitive 
material that should not be revisited!  My fix is to include an OpenStack 
handler with nothing in it in every sub-stack in order to trap the message.
