Hi Penelope,
I think the answer you'll get the most is to use a single session-scoped
bean for all the pages in your "flow". I'm not sure it's the
"canonical" answer, but it's pretty close I'd say :) What you describe
is a typical wizard interface, and while there are other ways, the
easiest approach tends to be a single session-scoped bean.
You are correct in saying if you put it in request-scope, the values
from page to page won't be saved because you get a new ActionForm with
each request.

Hi All,
Sorry if a similar question has been posted already
but here goes...
What do you think is the best way to accomplish the
following:
You have several pages in a flow. On your first page,
you allow a user to make a selection. On subsequent
pages, you want to display what the user has selected
from the first page.
I am using one request scope ActionForm for multiple
pages. As I have read, my action form will be
recreated as I go from page to page!!
Is it possible to achieve one ActionForm using request
scope instead of session and still be able to see
'Page 1 data' later on 'Page X'?
or may you please recommend another approach?
With many thanks,
Penelope
