/**
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: description -->
 *
 * Ensures that only one request per token is processed. This interceptor can make sure that back buttons and double
 * clicks don't cause un-intended side affects. For example, you can use this to prevent careless users who might double
 * click on a "checkout" button at an online store. This interceptor uses a fairly primitive technique for when an
 * invalid token is found: it returns the result <b>invalid.token</b>, which can be mapped in your action configuration.
 * A more complex implementation, {@link TokenSessionStoreInterceptor}, can provide much better logic for when invalid
 * tokens are found.
 *
 * <p/>
 *
 * <b>Note:</b> To set a token in your form, you should use the <b>token tag</b>. This tag is required and must be used
 * in the forms that submit to actions protected by this interceptor. Any request that does not provide a token (using
 * the token tag) will be processed as a request with an invalid token.
 *
 * <p/>
 *
 * <b>Internationalization Note:</b> The following key could be used to internationalized the action errors generated
 * by this token interceptor
 *
 * <ul>
 *    <li>struts.messages.invalid.token</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p/>
 *
 * <b>NOTE:</b> As this method extends off MethodFilterInterceptor, it is capable of
 * deciding if it is applicable only to selective methods in the action class. See
 * <code>MethodFilterInterceptor</code> for more info.

 *
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: extending -->
 *
 * While not very common for users to extend, this interceptor is extended by the {@link TokenSessionStoreInterceptor}.
 * The {@link #handleInvalidToken}  and {@link #handleValidToken} methods are protected and available for more
 * interesting logic, such as done with the token session interceptor.
