Chris Scheuble - " Struts Synchronizer Tokens"

Struts, from the Apache Jakarta Project, implements the Synchronizer Token pattern to prevent duplicate form submission. Applying this pattern, you can detect this situation and follow an alternate course of action when it happens. I showed a simple example of how to code your Struts application to take advantage of Struts' built in transaction functionality.
