Here's what I do:
Mark your "change password request" objects with a unique Id (I use
UUID>>asString36). Send an e-mail to the user with a URL which contains
an ID encoded in its path.
Create a root component and implement initialRequest:. This method gets
the WARequest instance as an argument. From that you can get the path
elements (I think I use "request nativeRequest pathParts last" to get
the last one). Now you have the id so you can pull the change password
request object out of your database.
