Try changing the forward to your view.do in the struts-config to have redirect="true". This should result in refresh refreshing the url you end up at rather than the save.do
ie: <forward name="mysteryMachine" path="/scooby.do?where=ru" redirect="true"/> (nb: redirecting this way will result in no parameters that were submitted to save.do being passed back to view.do, which could be a very bad thing depending on what you are doing (or it could be a good thing)) -----Original Message----- From: Ray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 19, 2002 22:11 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Beating the REFRESH button. Hello there again. I have a small problem with users hitting the refresh button whilst doing things with my application. Here's the scenario: User accesses view.do - an action which displays a list of data items, along with buttons to add, delete and edit data. If the add information, and it is validated as correct, then the data is written to the database with the action savedata.do, and the struts-config.xml redirects back to view.do to display the new list. The problem is that the last thing in the browser's URL window, is save.do (I imagine because servlet redirection does not update the browser's history list); so if the user hits refresh, the savedata.do action is executed again. Is there a tried and tested way to prevent this sort of thing happening. I'm thinking that I could call a plain HTML file that calls up event.do from JavaScript; that way, it will be written into the browser's history list. Would that be the best way to go about it, or does someone have a tidier suggestion ... ? ... :-) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!
