Srividya, The way I have been doing this rather quick and dirty but it works. Basically, you want to communicate between two HTTP requests. One of the most useful facilities in Rails is flash which is a special member of the session hash. It is special in the sense that it is temporary. By default, it will retain the values stored in it across two request and then it discards them automatically. Easy solution, just stuff the hash in the flash which itself is a hash anyway and retrieve it in any action that you desire. It has worked very well for me. Bharat
