Andy-
You can use a session-scoped bean coded within your Action class such as
User user = ... look up valid user in the database ...;
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute("user", user);

Hi,I am having difficulty trying to write a web app without session state (not my choice).As an example, my normal approach, say, to delete a user from a list is: in the 'pre display' action: - fill an arraylist of user objects from the db and set it in the session in the jsp - this arraylist is used for the values in a drop down menu - user selects one item, and through using JSTL, I get the object's uid in the 'post display' action: - look up the uid of the object in the arraylist - delete user on db (specifying uid)Is there a way of doing this using forms or something? The issue is that if I put the arraylist in the request it is no longer in scope when I get to the post display action.Thanks, andy _________________________________________________________________Winks & nudges are here - download MSN Messenger 7.0 today! http://messenger.msn.co.uk--------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
