Matt, The example is a bit oblique to me and the Action classes JavaDoc doesn't elaborate very well...
FWIW, I only see it used in EditRegistrationAction & SaveRegistrationAction with very little commenting. Is there a different example I shoud or location I should be looking at? However the code comment does say: // Set a transactional control token to prevent double posting Which is one of the things to look at in my evaluation because this was an issue I've had to deal with in all of the Servlet/JSP solutions I've done... Here is my guess as to what it does: Use saveToken() to stash away a hashcode (in the sesssion) of the current request. Use isTokenValid() to see if the saved hashcode matches the current request's hashcode... if so, this is a duplicate post so then the code should somehow produce the same response as last time? (I forget the math term... but basically have f(x) = f(f(x)).) Use resetToken() to remove the hashcode (from the session). (If so, why does it have a request parameter?) Are my assumptions correct? += Jeff Knee > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Raible [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2001 2:01 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Re: Tokens > > > see the example app - they're used to track if the form has > already been > submitted and such (back button and reload button issues). > > --- Stanley Struts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, what are tokens?
