Re: Have state across 2 requests without use of session?

Andy-

You can use a session-scoped bean coded within your Action class such as
User user = ... look up valid user in the database ...;
   HttpSession session = request.getSession();
   session.setAttribute("user", user);

Subject: Have state across 2 requests without use of session?


Hi,

I am having difficulty trying to write a web app without session state 
(not my choice).

As an example, my normal approach, say, to delete a user from a list is:

in the 'pre display' action:
- fill an arraylist of user objects from the db and set it in the session

in the jsp
- this arraylist is used for the values in a drop down menu
- user selects one item, and through using JSTL, I get the object's uid

in the 'post display' action:
- look up the uid of the object in the arraylist
- delete user on db (specifying uid)

Is there a way of doing this using forms or something?  The issue is that 
if I put the arraylist in the request it is no longer in scope when I get 
to the post display action.

Thanks,
andy
