http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22093 examination of token not possible prior to population Summary: examination of token not possible prior to population Product: Struts Version: 1.1RC2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Controller AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] A severe difficiency exists whereby a requests transaction token cannot be examined prior to form bean population. Examination of the token can only be performed and action on in an actions execute (or equivalent dispatch) method. This isn't sane because in most cases where a transaction token is invalid population of the form bean is not desired (especially in the case of session scoped form beans). The inability for something to examine the token and intervine prior to population leaves back button handling + indexed elements something to be desired. For example, a user submits a form that results in an indexed field being removed from the form bean instance. The user then stupidly decides to click the back button and submit the form again. The result is an index out of bounds exception because the cached version of the page contains the extra field that no longer has a corresponding element in a collection in the form bean. This is just one example there are other scenarios where it would be desirable to ignore population depending on some condition (not necessarily transaction checking) Ideally there would be some "default" method called prior to population that returned some boolean, where (if implemented) it returned true then and only then would population occur. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
