I'm not sure I am explaining my problem correctly. 1) a Jsp page displays a form with text boxes, radio and checkboxes. 2) Form is filled out and submitted. 3) if validated, the next part of the form is dispayed with a second jsp page. 4) But, User hits the browser back button 5) First form is re-diplayed, but the form fields have not been populated correctly, and sometimes my validation errors appear on the newly displayed form, even though it was submitted correctly the first time.
What I am asking is: 1) can someone explain what the back button is doing? 2) can I fix this in Struts, so that the the values that were submitted are now present when the form is re-posted. I realize that this is a browser issue, but I was hopiing to get a fix for it somehow. Tokens have been mentioned, and I have looked at the struts example and the many posts in the archives. I still do not see my way through this. If I am being dumb, don't be afraid to tell me. It won't be the first or the last time !!!

Maybe I'm dumb, but it is not apparent to me how the "token" is used to make the back button post the correct form information.

You'll notice that I also pointed you to the struts-example app that shows you how to use the methods you found in the javadoc.
