RE: What is token and When/Why/Where to use it?

Ted,
        Can you please elaborate "prepares the form" and "processes the
form". Preferably with an example or code snippet.


Thanks

Mostly to keep people from pressing submit more than once, which can
result things like duplicate sales. 

In the action that prepares the form, call saveToken(request). 

In the action the processes the form, check isTokenValid(request)). If
it is not valid, you can send them to an error or help page. If it is
valid, resetToken(request) and process.
