[shale] Question about Token scheme

[Sean Schofield <se...@gmail.com>]

Craig,

I've been taking a looking at the struts-shale stuff.  I have a couple
of questions about tokens.

The first is that you have a Set of tokens in the session map as
opposed to a single one.  Is that so you can have multiple pages open
in the same session requiring tokens (like an underlying page and a
popup "wizard" page)?

Also, is there anything in Shale that is using these tokens or is it
just the <s:Token> tag?  I'm thinking that this would be a great
improvement to the Faces spec in general, not just for Shale users. 
Of course, it could live in Shale until then ;-)

Nice.  I think this is the kind of stuff that struts developers will
discover as they dig into JSF and Shale.

JSF provides a lot more elegant solutions to some of the problems that
Struts has solved.  So far I've discovered lots of little nuggets like
this in JSF that make it a big step forward.

Yes ... this is a situation that Struts 1.x does not handle well at the moment.

Right now, it's just the <s:token> component tag.

There's more to dealing with the back button than just prohibiting
resubmits ... in some ideal world it should also be possible to allow
the user to really press the back button, and make the appropriate
adjustments to the saved component state, if the developer wanted to
make this OK.  I'd rather see this all figured out before just
standardizing tokens :-).
