You can do this directly, or you can setup your ActionForm class to have session scope. ActionForm is simply a bean which lifecycle is controlled by Struts using scope setting that you set in <action> element of config file. If you select "request" scope, Struts will stick ActionForm in request object. If you select "session" scope, Struts will stick ActionForm into the session. The <form-beans> section of config file defines keys, under which Struts stores ActionForm objects in implicit scope objects. In a sense, ActionForm is just a [convenient?] container for the stuff related to an action. I personally find it easier to have everything related to an action in a corresponding ActionForm. If I need to store data during several requests, I use session scope for an ActionForm. Another approach is to use request scope for ActionForms, and to save session-scoped stuff directly into session object.
