John,
That's easy to say, but unless your building the app as RESTful or
something, then the easiest
way to accomplish it IS to store it in a session.
I am not sure what you are trying to do, but maybe you need
hidden form fields to retain state across requests.
Sessions sound easier.

Don't use sessions. You need to embrace the atomic nature of a web
request, and just reconstruct the object on each request. Each
request should have all of the information required to reconstruct the
object. I am not sure what you are trying to do, but maybe you need
hidden form fields to retain state across requests.
In my opinion, sessions should be used very sparingly.
Regards,
John Campbell
