Store it in session and when you are done with it, remove it with
session.removeAttribute("name of bean")Ron Day Senior Developer e-Rewards, Inc. 8401 N.

I store it in the request for the jsp page and in the httpsession for the following bean. Or is this inefficient?

The "scope" attribute determines where the bean is stored, i.e. in what object. Ron Day Senior Developer e-Rewards, Inc. 8401 N.

Which means I can send a bean from a servlet to a page but I can't extract a bean from a page? Is that correct based on my code? So what I'm thinking now is to store the bean in the session.setAttribute method, would that save the bean and allow me to extract it in another servlet?

You see I want to extract the Bean from the page and use it in the code in my servlet. Now the servlet that loads up that page is different (it's called SearchServlet) to the one that deals with the button pressing (MatchServlet). SearchServlet passes it to the page as follows: GameBean gameBean = (GameBean) matches.get(0); request.setAttribute("gameBean", gameBean); address = "/match.jsp"; RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher(address); dispatcher.forward(request, response); Now in the MatchServlet servlet I have tried extracting the Bean using the code: GameBean gb = (GameBean) request.getAttribute("gameBean"); But it is coming back as a null pointer error. I've also tried getting it using this code: HttpSession session = request.getSession(true); GameBean gb = (GameBean) session.getAttribute("gameBean"); But again I'm getting a null pointer error. Can anyone help me and tell me how I can extract the gameBean from the page?
