Re: How to prevent users from jumping into the middle of a series of pages
I'm not the expert on this - but search the archive for 'workflow'

Re: How to prevent users from jumping into the middle of a series of pages
Posted by James Mitch <jm...@yahoo.com>.
I am assuming that you are writing a wizard-like series of pages where the user hits next, next,
next, and then finish (or however you want it).
I posted a pretty good (I think) bit of info on this process last week.
http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg23803.html
It works great for me.
Good Luck
James Mitchell
