Think of it in terms of HTTP requests/responses. 1. User requests form url. 2. Collection is placed into the request 3. Control is passed to form.jsp which renders the collection. 4. Form is sent to user and all request data is lost in your server. 5. User fills out the form and presses submit. 6. Only the values in the submitted form are sent back to the server *not* the whole collection. 7. Server validates data and sends back *submitted* values to input page. So, storing the collection in the session allows it to persist through the entire HTTP conversation instead of getting lost on the first response.
