You don't neccessarily have to worry that much about storing things in session. Once the session is terminated (either through logout, or via the timeout of your container) the garbage collector will do that for you.
In my application all form beans are session scope. My users only use one form at a time, so when they start using a new form I read through the session and get rid of any other 'old' form beans. There was a long discussion last week (or the week before) regarding whether or not to use session scope. My feeling is that it makes life a lot easier, so use it unless there is a compelling reason not to - memory is pretty cheap, my time isn't. In my case my application tends to run out of CPU well before I run out of memory (dual processor box with 2Gb of RAM).
