Hi,
Essentially, the form bean is the model for the web tier.
It's state can be associated with a certain request, in this case,
it will be stored as a request-scope attribute. If it's state is
associated with a certain user/session, then it will be stored as
a session-scope attribute.
Categorizing state into different scopes, namely request, session and
context will best reflect its nature and allow the servlet container to
manage(instantiate/use/destroy) accordingly. Form bean is just one of
this kind of state.
Hope this helps,
Shengmeng Liu
