Hmmm.. I would use a 'state machine' because: 1. You just can't disable the URL bar in your browser without rendering it useless (..). 2. Use javascript and your users will disable it. 3. Hack your browser to disallow entering URLs in the URL bar and then hack everyone else's who need to use your application.
Definitively I would use a State Machine where I could control what URLs (and their parameters) are supposed to be allowed anytime. I could control their flow from inside the servlet without having to buy expensive hardware or hacking everyone's pcs just to keep the users behaving properly. Atte. Domingo A.
