Can I access an ActionForm JavaBean with a session scope?

[Gregg Williams]

I am continuing work on an extremely simple (2 web pages) Struts 
application. In the first page (entryPage.jsp), you enter data into a form 
and click the submit button. This takes you to the second page 
(displayPage.jsp), which displays the data from the form; and clicking the 
submit button on this page takes you back to the first page--very simple.

The first page uses an form-bean named entryForm, which has a session scope 
and and two parameters, name and address. Similarly, the second page has an 
form-bean named displayForm.

Here's my question. While I'm processing the second page, I want to change 
a value in the entryForm JavaBean. Since it has a session scope, can I 
access it through the session variable--i.e. something like:

 HttpSession session = request.getSession();
 session.setAttribute("entryForm.name", "new-name-here");
But I can't seem to get this to work. I have searched over the Internet 
(which includes the archives of this mailing list) but haven't found 
anything. Any suggestions? Thanks.
