I am not currently using database for my application, i am getting the data from forms, and calling a register api [ register(username,pwd,email) ]. The only reason i want the username and pwd for "process" is cause my registration page is a 2 step process. and for each step i have defined an instance method. so the first step i register the user, and second step i add some details . so in the second step i would be calling a function [ process(username,pwd,Details)] consider "details" to be a bunch of data in xml format. and i want the user to enter only details in the second page. so the second page has to be aware of the username and pwd values.
