Struts Portlet and Page Navigation

| Hi,
how do I know when a user returns to a page with a Struts portlet (or
any portlet, for that matter)?
We have a portal (WPS v5) with several pages. On PageA, there is
Portlet1, a Struts portlet. The user performs some steps within that
portlet. Having reached step 3 of 5, he decides to go to a different
portal page, PageB. After some time, he goes back to PageA using the
portal navigation (in the theme). Portlet1 still displays step 3 of 5.
For us, this is a problem. We want to have the user start over again
with step 1 of 5 whenever he returns to PageA. That is, the welcome
file (in web.xml) is supposed to be called and forward to a Struts
action which must be executed. Is there a way to signal the event "user
returns to page" to the portlet?
We'd appreciate any help or comment. Regards, Sascha

| I have exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution yet? I think you have to adjust the PageBarInclude.jsp and/or the PlaceBarInclude.jsp. Both jsp's are includes in the default.jsp.

| You could have a request attribute passed from page to page.. Upon returning to the page (or on refresh to.. no difference) the attribute will not be there... Then you can check for it's presence in the jsps and if it's not there forward to the 1st
page...
<logic:notPresent attribute="DONTRUNAGAIN">
<logic:forward name="WelcomeAction"/>
</logic:notPresent>
One note.. I haven't done this yet.. thought of it today and plan to try it out this week.. so your mileage may vary... :-)
