scope of a bean

[Peter Choe]

i am trying to write an jsp where a bean is instaniated and has it data
initialized on one jsp page.  and then another page should be able to
read the data from the bean.  i have set the scope of the bean to
request, but when it goes to the other page, i noticed that it is
creating a new bean rather using the bean that was instaniated from the
previous page.

am i misunderstanding the scope of the bean?  how can i get bean to be
recognized by two jsp files without using session scope?
