Very true XML can be huge. But you never need to layout the whole object in XML, you just need to send the piece of info in the XML using which the rest of the object can be created. You would definitely need a little more than just the ID of a db column. SO basically you serialize / marshall it in your own defined way. One of the ways is the way larry suggested keeping the obj in the db and passing the ID, but it can be highly possible that if the servers are complete different they may also not have a common database they can access. In that case you would need to marshall and unmarshall your objects based on a strategy which can take care of the issue.

Given the verbosity of XML, that won't take long. :-) Another option would be to place the data to be passed into a database, and send the id to locate it once you get to the other end. The cost in terms of both performance and coding time may be prohibitive unless the data you are passing is large or valuable. Plus, you then have the overhead of cleaning up the data once you are done with it. Larry >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/29/04 12:16 PM >>> It seems like u need to send the attributes from a JSP-Tomcat env to another JSP-Tomcat or a ASP.net/IIS. In this case I think it could be very benefical if you send the data you want to send in an XML format that could be understood between platforms so that if it is ASP.net it can create the List or any other object using it, same in case of JSP /Tomcat . This has to be in the URL as Wendy suggested, I cannot think of any other ways. -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Jalenak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 11:07 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: [OT] request object w/ response.sendRedirect Doesn't work with a response.sendRedirect() because of the new request object that gets constructed.
