If you need to have variables shared between requests from the same person, the session scope is probably your best bet. If that's not appropriate for whatever reason, you're stuck doing some kind of copying operations. The latter's not necessarily a bad solution, just has certain drawbacks. At the very least, I'd look to package all the incoming variables into a "subscope" of request (request.params or something), so they're differentiated from "normal" request variables.
Bottom line, if it works, it can't really be "wrong". Might not be as "right" as other solutions, but perfection is an unattainable goal, particularly in software development. cheers, barneyb On 12/1/06, Brent Nicholas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Barney - > > Thanks for your reply.
