Hi
I think storing these kind of date in a session is not great idea...
I really like Refirect after post patterny by Jouravlev where author
promotes saving submitted data in temporary storage (for example session)
and then use redirect to output action adding some kind of identifier to
data preivously saved in temporary storage.
That's why i think it is much better to pass some kind od identifier as http
param to redirect URL.
Obviously if you need to set a lot of param to redirect URL, it is quite
cumbersome and doesn't look proffesional - you see long, ugly URL in your
address bar and maybe session in this case in more appropriate.

A redirect is a message to the browser telling it to make a new request
for a different URL. Since the browser is sending a new request, any
data you put into the old request goes away. If you need to have data
available between browser requests, store it in the session, instead.
