RE: [WEB400] Avoid the address toolbar

["Eyers, Daniel" <daniel.eyers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim's solution sounds similar to MVC.  If a servlet drove the application and 
used POSTed parameters to identify which
view to present, the URL would be all but meaningless.  

If you used session variables, it would be even more robust....

Maybe only allow POST not GET?

What I have done... And it's been a while, is pass my variables via form
variables from one page to another, to avoid them showing up in the url...
And then when I open the new page, I read the referer (?) URL, if the URL
did not match what I expected, i send the page to an error page, this
avoided page hopping, and paramater overrides..  i think...  I don't
remember how complete my testing was, but it was for an intranet app, so I
was too worried...  It wasn't a payroll lookup or anything...
