I have a shoppingcart-esque form that submits to an payment vendor (EG paypal) so the user can pay for something I'm offering. This form needs to contain a hidden element that specifies a URL that the payment vendor will access after the user pays for it; hitting the URL is supposed to let me know payment has been rendered. This URL will need to contain an ID referencing the particular transaction. I want to encode both the name and value of the ID so people can't start inserting arbitrary values (potentially marking unrelated transactions as "paid".) NOTE: all the non-struts code already exists to support this.
Can anyone help save me lots of time by telling me how I can support this type of requirement?
