I'm using displaytag-1.0-b2 on a struts-1.1 based
application.

I found out that display tag appends request
parameters to URL query strings.

This is a problem for an application I'm working on
because I have a table (using displaytag) which is
also a form, and it has a password column.

The textfield of course displays asterisks, however,
when I save the form (normal struts action, POST
method), all those passwords are included in the
request. After saving, I return to the current page of
the list/table that was saved (business requirement).

Then when I go to the next page of that list, all
those passwords from the request (along with every
request parameters) are appended to the URL.

- this results in a very long URL which are not
necessarily useful for displaytag
- those passwords are appended in plain text to the
URL
- other information appended to the URL is stored on
the browser history list, and this breaches the
privacy issue (first name, last name, date of birth,
etc)

Any idea how to solve this problem? I'm wondering if
there's a way to filter what parameters not to be
included to displaytag URL.

Basically we cannot change the way the application
suppose to work, because the problems would not occur
in the first place anyway if displaytag doesn't
include every parameters from the request.

Btw, I've tried searching the mail archive and can't
find any solution.
