I agree total with you on that. However, I didn't think he was trying to repopulate from the page. I read it as he wondered why the Vector wasn't still present in the form on the next go-around. I typically use a Collection for something like the iterate tag. I don't expect (and wouldn't do it that anyway) that the form would reconstruct the objects back into the Vector on the submit.
Sometimes, there's data that you need to hang on to longer than a request will allow. This is the purpose (I think) of being able to define a mapping as session scope. Obviously there's a cost involved of putting things in the session, however, there can also can be a more taxing cost of retrieving data again from a backend DB or EJB application. There's a tradeoff. Hopefully, that's not what he's trying to do.
