Re: Question about forward and backward button in the browser

[Ted Husted <hu...@apache.org>]

Struts has no control over the browser, and so there's only so much the
framework can do. 

You might want to take a look at the "token" methods in the Action
class. These can protect a user from submitting a form twice. 

The best place to ask questions like this is the user list. If no one
there can come up with a solution using the current devices, then we can
talk about changes on the DEV list.
