cooperation with struts transaction token - better than brute force?

[Glenn Kronschnabl <gr...@netquotient.com>]

Hi,

I'm a struts user and I use the transaction token that you can use on 
forms/urls.  However, I prefer the <c:url> syntax over <html:link> 
(especially for multiple request params).  The way I'm simulating the 
<html:link transaction="true"> right now is to do something like:

<jr:set var="token" value='<%= 
session.getAttribute("org.apache.struts.action.TOKEN") %>' />

<c:url var="editUrl" value="/main/service_edit/pre.do">
  <c:param name="org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TOKEN" value="${token}" />
  <c:param name="rateData.orderType" value="${rate.orderType}"/>
  <c:param name="accountNum" value="${acm.accountId}"/>
</c:url>
<a href='<c:out value="${editUrl}"/>' >Change</a>

but I was wondering if there is an easier way?  Could I somehow use 
cooperating tags and come up with something like <c:param> but for the 
transaction token specific?

Thanks,
Glenn

I'm not sure if you could write a special tag to do this specific task, if
that's what you're asking. However, you can get rid of the scriptlet, and
the tag that's using it in your example. Instead, write the corresponding
parameter like this:

  <c:param name='org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TOKEN'
    value='${sessionScope["org.apache.struts.action.TOKEN"]}' />

Perhaps not ideal, but somewhat cleaner and simpler.
