Re: [OS-webwork] WW2 Return To Page

I don't think I'd trust the Referer header.  It is probably better to 
pass a parameter and if the parameter doesn't exist then to provide a 
default.

Can you use the Referer request header?

That tells what page you just came from, be wary though as some proxies will
strip that.

Subject: [OS-webwork] WW2 Return To Page

 

Gang,
I have a WW page that I can get to from 2 different places.  When the
   

users
 

is done with the target page, they should return back to the correct
   

calling
 

page.
In my WW XWork.xml file I currently have a dispatch mapping that returns
   

me
 

to only ONE page. Sort of hard coded.

I was just about to implement a solution where I send a parameter to the
target page called returnToPage=pageA. The target jsp would put this value
into a hidden field.  Then my Action would read this value and use this
value as the RETURN parameter for the execute() method.  I would then have
dispatch mappings for both pageA and pageB...
This approach seems ugly. Are there smarter ways of doing the same thing?
IE: determining dynamically what the dispatch should be based on where the
user was coming from?
Mike
