The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Handling double submission in Struts 2 with interceptor 'token-session'

Asked by hai_madhan in Jakarta Struts, Miscellaneous Web Development, Java Server Pages (JSP)

Tags: Apache Struts 2, struts 2, 2, Issue in using <s:token> tag, Java - Struts 2, Unexpected Exception caught setting 'struts.token', Issue in using token-session

Hi,

I'm trying to use struts 2  token-session interceptor to handle the double submissions in my application.

Here is my action class signature:
public class BusinessAction extends BaseAction implements Preparable
while  the BaseAction extends ActionSupport implements SessionAware.

Here is my action configuration:

        <action name="save" class="BusinessAction" method="save">
              <interceptor-ref name="user-login"/>
              <interceptor-ref name="token-session"/>
              <interceptor-ref name="basicStack"/>
              <interceptor-ref name="defaultStack"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="params" />
            <interceptor-ref name="validation"/>
            <interceptor-ref name="workflow"/>            
              
                 <result name="login">/logout.jsp</result>
            <result name="invalid.token">view.do</result>                
                <result name="input">/pages/editBusiness.jsp</result>
                <result type="redirect">view.do</result>
        </action>

Please note that when the token interceptor captures the invalid token i want the 'view' action to be invoked which is the same action that is invoked after a proper submission. After a normal submission the application will go to the view page. When the user does a double submission I want the application to show the view page of the first submission and ignore the further submissions.

In my input jsp page I've included the <s:token/> under the <s:form> tag.

This set up has successfully avoided the issue of submitting agian after pressing the browser back button.

But, when I submit once and then again before the process gets completed, the application breaks throwing the following error:

com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.ParametersInterceptor setParameters ParametersInterceptor - [setParameters]: Unexpected Exception caught setting 'struts.token' on 'class com.paribas.wlist.action.BusinessAction: Error setting expression 'struts.token' with value '[Ljava.lang.String;@44304430'
com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.ParametersInterceptor setParameters ParametersInterceptor - [setParameters]: Unexpected Exception caught setting 'struts.token.name' on 'class com.paribas.wlist.action.BusinessAction: Error setting expression 'struts.token.name' with value '[Ljava.lang.String;@43944394'

And then it throws a null pointer exception:

WebApp        E   [Servlet Error]-[<null>]: java.lang.NullPointerException at
com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srt.SRTServletRequest$SRTServletRequestHelper.access$200(SRTServletRequest.java:2045)
at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srt.SRTServletRequest.getAttribute(SRTServletRequest.java:186)


I know I'm missing something, but couldn't figure out what it is. Could you please help me this issue.

Thanks,
Madhan
