Beginner question

["White, Joshua A (CASD, IT)" <Jo...@thehartford.com>]

I have two struts actions:

	"insertIt" - adds an item to the database.  When successful, this
action forwards to the "viewIt" action putting the newly inserted items
itemId into the request.
	"viewIt" - views an item by itemId (retrieves itemId from request)

When "insertIt" successfully completes, It forwards to "viewIt" without a
redirect.  As many of you know, if the user then refreshes the page, the
insert action is performed again.

To solve this problem, I changed the redirect attribute to "true".  The
refresh problem disappears.  However, the request variable "itemId" gets
lost because of the redirect.  

I know this is something every struts developer has worked through.  Could
someone suggest a pattern for this type of transaction?  

Regards,

Joshua
