I need to implement the usual account activation via email function. Can anyone point me to some example of how this is implemented? If in Wicket even better but anything would help me a lot.
One question I have is how to generate hard to guess unique keys in the email link? I use Hibernate & MySql, does this give me some easy way to generate these keys? Use Jakarta common-id to generate uuid? I plan to have an activation field in the user table to store the activation key, once the user respond to the activation email link, clear the field to indicate the account is activated. Is this how it's done? Thanks for any help!
