[WEB SECURITY] CSRF remedies in

[Minoo Hamilton]

There's also the Java Web Application Security Framework called HDIV 
<www.hdiv.org>.  Which currently  integrates with Struts 1.x, Struts 
2.x, Spring MVC or JSTL.  It does handle anti-CSRF tokens.   This is one 
of the things I've been looking at, because, suddenly in Spring  Webflow 
2.0, the complexity of the token generation changed and no longer has 
the same level of side-benefit for foiling CSRF.  I suppose it was never 
intended to be a security feature in Spring (as somebody else mentioned). 

Here's an interesting discussion:
