Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for talking the time!

Yes, an application error page is displayed on most of the attacks.

I'm thinking on implement an input validation, where I can "catch" and
"filter" the malicious values that trigger the error. I don't know if there
is a generic way that Tapestry 4.1 can do that, or I'm missing something to
avoid it.

Some examples:
SQL Injection malicious values like = %27%3B     and  \'%20having%201=1--
Cross-site Scripting values like = <script>.... </script>
Making null some parameters.

This malicious values, can be inserted on the sp parameters of an url, or
even at hidden parameters within a form.

Thanks,
Adriana B
