Problem with Session?DynaActionform?BrowserBack?
Hi All !
In my application, if I register using Account#1,email#1 ,password and zipcode#1(a unique userid#1 is generated and I am successfully logged on(auto login) ,then I click on Browser Back or type in the url of the page (its not a jsp a .do) , Enter Account#2,email#2 ,password and zipcode#1.(no user-id is created). If I logout and logon with userid#1 ,the 2 accounts are displayed .w
are the session attributes not set?if then how is the Account#2 being taken?
What I need is ,a second user-id must be successfully generated.(since email is different and user id is generated based on email)
Help needed IMMEDIATLY !!!
PS:I have posted this question under javascript section Yday.

i am using Struts and JSP.
i guess my vocab is bad and also i am new to java,struts so pls let me know if going wrongin my basics.
In registr_form.jsp I enter the acc#,email,password ,zipcode and then click on submit.The action class registraction.java is invoked and the request object is created using the form variables(DynaActionForm).
So if I register again (clicking on back or directly entering the URL in address) ,the acc# in the present form becomes the second acc# for the first user-id .Thereby no second user-id is created even thoughI pass the new variable values in my header.

If you are auto-logged in, then you are theoretically associating the Account#2,email#2 ,password and zipcode#1
(from the second form submission) with your first login.
Add a check to your registr_form.jsp and registraction.java to see if the user is already logged in and if
they are logged in, don't register them again.

Ok, let me get this straight:
You have a form, that uses Struts tags like <html:text> etc..
In this form you capture the following things: acc#, email, password and zipcode.
The form is linked to a submit button and an action (which you have configured in struts-config.xml
to instantiate and run an Action servlet) This registraction.java gets the following things as para
meters: The Actionmapping, The ActionForm (in this case a DynaActionForm), the request and
the response. Now, I havent used Dynaforms personally, but these are created from
struts-config.xml directly, correct?
Ok, now to the problem:
You register yourself once, the account is entered in the database.
You press back and try to register again, another account is created. (you dont want this)
"""So if I register again (clicking on back or directly entering the URL in address) ,the acc# in the present form becomes the second acc# for the first user-id .Thereby no second user-id is created even thoughI pass the new variable values in my header. """
This means that when the second user register, the first account gets replaced instead of
creating a new account? We want to create new accounts each time a user register.
So, the problem is that the form stores the data from the previous registration?

Celdric,
The form stores the data from the previous registration.Thats what I guess.
BUT ,i think the word account is misleading.say account = creditcardno.
I register first using :
creditcard no =100
emailid =abc@ee.com
password=a123
zipcode=01029
SSN :1001
The application logs me in."successfully registered!" (Use your email-id to login in future)
I click on browser back.the Registration form is displayed,I enter
creditcard no =200
emailid =xyz@ee.com
password=a123
zipcode=01029
SSN:1001
The application logs me in."successfully registered!"
NOW, I enter the site using abc@ee.com
your credit cards are
100
200
What I need is only 100 to be displayed when abc@ee.com logs in. And want to see 200 displayed when logged in as xyz@ee.com.But if I try with xyz@ee.com ,theres a messsage that user invalid.Theres no entry in the DB for xyz@ee.com.

Post your SQL queries, lets see em. (If you can)
I think DynaForms always get "reseted" after use (maybe Im wrong), so, the value
should get stored there, at least until the next Instantiation from Struts-config..
So, next logical place to look is in the queries.
if you cant copy-paste em, at least try and explain em :D
Regards! (I leave in the office in an hour, hope t help you tomorrow, if you dont reply by then :D )

could you rephrase your question and explain your problem in detail?
Oh and these additional info will help us see the context of your problem:
What technologies are you using: Struts? JSP? Servlets? All of the above?
Does your form interact with a DB driver, JDBC maybe?
Do you store this data somewhere on your application (in order to compare different forms
and given them different id's)?
How do you implement user validations/authorization/
