This is similar to what I usually implement. I have been gradually developing a "session manager" or perhaps a "session janitor" that watches/tracks workflow and cleans up stuff from memory (session) that isn't needed anymore. It could be a filter or a custom request processor in the world of Struts. Since I most often use my own controller Servlet I have my own place to put it, but basically, it gets invoked before any request handlers.

Hi,

I have never implemented anything like this (with Struts), but this is the
first thing I can think of...

Assuming your wizard is one-way (by this, I mean you have a linear graph -
1<->2<->3... -, no bifurcations and /or intersections and / or parallelism),
you could "define" your "workflow" by "tagging" the pages it is made of...
then, manage the wizard from a filter that is able to detect your getting
into one and your leaving it. Once it detects someone's left a wizard, and
knowing its components, it could have them cleaned off the corresponding
Session.

I believe, however, that this approach wouldn't work if the graph is not
linear.

I'll be glad to here your feedback (everybody).

HTH,
Freddy.

That isn't the purpose of the (confusingly named) reset method. Reset is there to, typically, deal with the html forms submit checkbox fields (they don't submit anything if they are null).

If you have your action in HttpSession, why don`t you just call reset whenever a user clicks on the button supposed to start this wizard?

Hello everyone,
I am facing this problem of session. I have my
action
form in session(a wizard like thing). Now if the
user
starts filling in values  and clicks on the NEXT
button, to go on to the next screen and then instead
of completing the process of application, clicks on
some other link.
Again he wants to start with the application
process,
the form get pre-populated with the previous values,
as the form in still in session. I want a clean
form.
How to overcome this problem???
Any ideas???
Thanks.
