Subject: Re: The design of bread crumb trail

Are you using S1 or S2? 

I once implemented a S1 bread-crumbs facility using a custom 
RequestProcessor to put a stack of page url's into the user's session.  
This worked well, and allowed a page to return to any of the last 3 
pages.  I used it to go from the catalog page, where the user made a 
purchase selection, to a page showing details of the order item, and 
then back to the catalog page.  Since the catalog page could be any of a

number of pages, returning to the correct one required some special 
work.  The lack of this feature is why on most e-purchase sites they 
have a link "continue shopping", which does NOT take you back to where 
you were. 

I've been wanting to implement a Struts-2 "BreadCrumbsInterceptor", or 
maybe a Filter, but have not gotten around to it.  I'd be interested if 
anyone has done this.
