it wasnt a silly question, request scope at the moment but I am no changing to session after your advice because the amount of code I am having to do is daft!

Silly question, but it probably needs asking; What scope are you giving this
form?  I assume it is request.

I know it is unfashionable, but giving the form a scope of session will
persist this HashMap for you (unless you reset it).

My ActionForm has a HashMap which backs its values.



Before I enter JSP 1 I populate the HashMap with values which are then
displayed on the page.



I then submit the form to an Action which processes the values submitted and
then forwards on to a JSP.



The problem is that the HashMap has lots its instantiation within the form.



If it was a String and I wanted to maintain its state across multiple pages
I would add a hidden field with the property name. I know that this won't be
possible with a map however.



Any thoughts people?
