Struts 2 sessionToken interceptor always redirects to error

Question

I have been attempting to get the tokenSession interceptor to work (Struts 2.0.14) but always get the warnings:

2013-03-13 08:32:09,395 [17] DEBUG Intercepting invocation to check for valid transaction token. | org.apache.struts2.interceptor.TokenSessionStoreInterceptor.doIntercept(128)

The struts.xml has the following interceptor configuration:

            <package name="survey" extends="struts-default">
        <result-types>
            <result-type name="csv"
                     class="webapp.CsvResultType"/>
            </result-types>

        <interceptors>
            <interceptor name="log"
                class="struts.LoggingInterceptor"/>
            <interceptor name="formAuthentication"
                class="security.FormAuthenticationInterceptor"/>
            <interceptor-stack name="default">
                <interceptor-ref name="log"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="servletConfig"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="formAuthentication"/>
                <!--interceptor-ref name="chain"/>-->
                <interceptor-ref name="fileUpload"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="checkbox"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="params"/>
            </interceptor-stack>
            <interceptor-stack name="defaultTokenStack">
                <interceptor-ref name="tokenSession"/>
                <interceptor-ref name="default"/>
            </interceptor-stack>

        </interceptors>

        <default-interceptor-ref name="default"/>

        <!--  -->

        <global-results>
             <result name="blank">/WEB-INF/view/support/Blank.jsp</result>
             <result name="error">/WEB-INF/view/support/Error.jsp</result>
             <result name="insufficientPrivileges">/WEB-INF/view/support/InsufficientPrivileges.jsp</result>
             <!--result name="file" type="file"></result-->
        </global-results>

    </package>

With the action definitions:

<package name="respondent" namespace="/respondent" extends="survey">
    <action name="*" class="controller.respondent.{1}Action">
        <interceptor-ref name="defaultTokenStack"/>
        <result name="list">/WEB-INF/view/respondent/{1}List.jsp</result>
        <result name="edit">/WEB-INF/view/respondent/{1}Edit.jsp</result>
        <result name="view">/WEB-INF/view/respondent/{1}View.jsp</result>
        <result name="success">/WEB-INF/view/respondent/{1}.jsp</result>
        <result name="invalid.token">/WEB-INF/view/support/TokenError.jsp</result>
    </action>
</package>

The jsp has the token tag:

<s:form action="FunctionSummary.action" method="post">
<s:token/>

    <table class="buttons">
        <tr>
            <s:if test="surveyStarted">
                <td><s:submit value="Resume Survey"/></td>
            </s:if>
            <s:else>
                <td><s:submit value="Start Survey"/></td>
            </s:else>

        </tr>
    </table>

</s:form>

Any access to this page always results in redirection to the invalid.token result and the warnings above.

I have validated that without the interceptor configured, the page source does have the token but I cannot get the sessionToken interceptor to see it.

Any help would be most appreciated...

Thanks

Try to put your <s:token/> tag into your <table> tags. I got the same problem just like you. And after I put <s:token/> into <table> tag problem solved.

<s:form action="" id = "" theme="simple" method = "post">
<table id = "" border="1" width="200">
    <s:token/>  <!-- In the table tag -->

</table>
</s:form>
