Any opinions on read and writing to flat files to avoid additional ram use? Or you reckon that the reading and writing would consume similar amounts of ram? I'll get around to trying it when i get a moment.

Given your scenario, it sounds like a good candidate for a session scoped

I agree with what Mark Lowe said - usually/often "...theres no more work
invloved scoping to request" - thats been the case for my app. I would also
do what you said in a previous post - which is "clean up" the session stuff
when they navigate away to another part of the app.
I'm in the "do it in request unless you have good reason(s) to use the
session" camp - rather than the "anti-session" camp as it may have appeared
in previous threads.

My application has an Asset search form. The user can enter many criteriatosearch on.form
Most of these criteria themselves are looked up from the database (e.g the
Person associated with the Asset search). When the user selects a search
criteria (e.g. the Person) I store the DTO for that person on my search
form. The view element displays details about that Person on the searchuntil the search form is cleared.to
Many requests will be made to find the criteria before the Asset search
itself is performed.
To do this using a request scope form would require that I transfer all of
the details I want to display about that person in hidden inputs on the
form. If the details I want to display about a Person change then I'd also
need to change the hidden fields. In addition once I ship the applicationmy customers they may have their own JSP developer show extra prpoertiesofthe selected Person.
So, that's my justification for using session scoped form beans. Any comments gratefully recieved.
