Let me re-phrase my question. Upon the user click on the LOGOUT buttion, I have two actions - the first one of the actions is Logoff.java in which I invalidate the session, ..., etc. and the second action upon success will lead the user to the welcome page in which choices for unregistered member plus a LOGON buttion is provided. As long as two actions are involved, the user does not get back to the welcome page by just click on the LOGOFF button "only once".
Need your guidance on how such a situation is usually handled? --- Caroline Jen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the reply. Now, I understand that I have > two actions.
