## com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc
Class XsrfTokenServiceServlet

    java.lang.Object
      javax.servlet.GenericServlet
          javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
              com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.AbstractRemoteServiceServlet
                  com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.RemoteServiceServlet
                      com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.XsrfTokenServiceServlet

All Implemented Interfaces:
  RemoteService, XsrfTokenService, SerializationPolicyProvider, java.io.Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig

    public class XsrfTokenServiceServlet

extends RemoteServiceServlet
implements XsrfTokenService

EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change. Do not use this in production code.

RPC service to generate XSRF tokens.

Sample use of `XsrfTokenService`:

1. Add `XsrfTokenServiceServlet` to `web.xml`:

        <servlet>
          <servlet-name>xsrf</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>
            com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.XsrfTokenServiceServlet
          </servlet-class>
        </servlet>
        <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>xsrf</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/gwt/xsrf</url-pattern>
        </servlet-mapping>

2. Specify session cookie name that is used for authentication. MD5 hash of the session cookie's value will be used as an XSRF token:

        <context-param>
          <param-name>gwt.xsrf.session_cookie_name</param-name>
          <param-value>JSESSIONID</param-value>
        </context-param>

3. To enforce XSRF token validation on each method call either mark RPC interface as XSRF protected using `XsrfProtect` annotation or extend `XsrfProtectedService` instead of RemoteService. Use `NoXsrfProtect` to mark methods as not requiring XSRF protection:

        public interface MyRpcService extends XsrfProtectedService {
          public void doStuff();
        }

4. Ensure that RPC's servlet implementation extends `XsrfProtectedServiceServlet` instead of `RemoteServiceServlet`:

        public class MyRpcServiceServlet extends XsrfProtectedServiceServlet
            implements MyRpcService {

          public void doStuff() {
            // ...
          }
        }

5. Obtain `XsrfToken` and set it on the RPC end point:

        XsrfTokenServiceAsync xsrf = (XsrfTokenServiceAsync)GWT.create(XsrfTokenService.class);

        ((ServiceDefTarget)xsrf).setServiceEntryPoint(GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + "xsrf");

        xsrf.getNewXsrfToken(new AsyncCallback<XsrfToken>() {
          public void onSuccess(XsrfToken result) {
            MyRpcServiceAsync rpc = (MyRpcServiceAsync)GWT.create(MyRpcService.class);
            ((HasRpcToken) rpc).setRpcToken(result);
            // make XSRF protected RPC call
            rpc.doStuff(new AsyncCallback<Void>() {
              // ...
            });

          }

          public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
            try {
              throw caught;
            } catch (RpcTokenException e) {
              // Can be thrown for several reasons:
              //   - duplicate session cookie, which may be a sign of a cookie
              //     overwrite attack
              //   - XSRF token cannot be generated because session cookie isn't
              //     present
            } catch (Throwable e) {
              // unexpected
            }
        });
