Struts: Token Session Interceptor and back button

+1 vote
1,711 views

I am using the token session interceptor for a form and I have this situation:
1) I am in the form page;
2) I leave the form page;
3) Go back to the form page by the "back" button;
4) Submit the form;

And of course the form is not submitted and the token returns "invalid.token" but do not adds no actionError. It will not be interesting to add an action error?

Ok, I can resend to a page with a message but I already have a error page that presents the action errors when necessary.

Make sure your back-button action refreshes the page. You can't reuse a token from the browser's cache. It needs to regenerated.

@Garima, I was thinking about this example...what did you have in mind as a way to achieve that, tough, i.e., that a browser "back" refreshes the page?

I can only see some javascript method/hack for that. Were you thinking of something else?

You need to have browser caching disabled on your first page:

response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"); // HTTP 1.1
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); // HTTP 1.0
response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); // Proxies

Struts: dynamic interceptor insertion

I would like to dynamically insert an interceptor to a specific place in existing stack.

Of course I also like the stacks referencing the one where I insert the interceptor also take advantage of this configuration change.

I started to look on the side of PackageProvider, but I can not find sufficiently complete documentation allowing me to do this.

Getting lists back from struts

I have encountered this issue a couple of times, always found a way to code around but now I really need to ask:

Can struts create lists/arrays (or whatever collection) when e.g. using

public class MyAction extends ActionSupport {
 public List getChoices() {
 ....
 }
 ....
 public List getPreSelectedChoices() {
 // returns a list of Choice.getKey(), which is a String
 ....
 }
 }

 public class Choice {
 public String getKey() { ...}
 public String getDisplayName() { ... }
 ....
 }

The selected values are sent to

public void setMyChoice(String myChoice){
 ...
}

correct? There is no way something like

public void setMyChoice(String[] myChoice){
 ...
}

works in struts?

If not, whats the common way to get the values back from the String myChoice? Use Split on it?

Struts2: How to determine if a session exists from an Interceptor

I have an Interceptor that wants to put something in the session after the action has executed.

But if the session doesn't already exist I get an exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot create a session after the response has been committed

How can I determine if the session already exists from within an Interceptor?

 public String doIntercept(ActionInvocation invocation) throws Exception
 {
 String result = invocation.invoke();
 Map session = invocation.getInvocationContext().getSession();
 session.put(key, value); // throws exception if session doesn't exist
 return result;
 }
...
