It is available for the duration of the HTTP request. That may be more than one page if you are forwarding (server-side) but if you are not it is more or less equivalent to a page. The 4 scopes are page, request, session, application
so if you want to keep something for longer you probably want to put it in the session. About the user clicking a button: if it is a submit button I believe the button name is an http parameter and you can look for that in an action. You can also use javascript to set a hidden field when the user clicks a button. That is a "parameter", not an "attribute" but you can look for the parameter in the action and set and attibute. - Dan > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Douglas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2004 12:58 PM > To: user@struts.apache.org > Subject: setAttribute > > I set an attribute as follows... > > public class AdsRespAction extends Action { > > public ActionForward execute( > ActionMapping mapping, > ActionForm Form, > HttpServletRequest request, > HttpServletResponse response) > throws Exception { > . > . > request.setAttribute("adlist", list); > return mapping.findForward("success"); > } > } > > > I can loop through the adlist attribute in a jsp and build > a table, no > problem.
