WW-4539 Support list of tokens to prevent CSRF attack in async requests
Nowadays, modern web applications use JQuery, and so, they can send
multiple async requests in parallel to the web server. Struts has a great token
mechanism which one of it's use cases is preventing from CSRF attack, but it's
not usable or hard to use when the user application has multiple valid
submission from one jsp using JQuery.
This pull request contains all changes needed to enable Struts to handle
this, transparently (i.e. these changes do not break current user application
which uses previous token mechanism). Also, this is protected from DOS attack
by supplying a maximum for count of concurrent valid requests.
I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks!
