How about ContinuationScope? Sounds decent to me since the second request can be viewed as a continuation of the first.

Then again, if other frameworks are calling a similar facility FlashScope, then there is some logic in using that name as well... that way, when people compare frameworks, they can see that Struts isn't lacking this as compared to other frameworks.

Incidentally, can you elaborate on how Struts supports this now? I'm not sure I'm aware of this...

Shale calls this a dialog. I prefer that name. The reason is, obviously, is a 
continuous dialog across multiple requests.

Behind the scenes, it uses session object and automatically retains
objects for the duration of this request and the subsequent request.
This scope object works best when redirect-after-post pattern is
utilized.

Struts has a rudimentary implementation of this tecnhique for handling
messages and errors. If a more generic FlashScope were created for
Struts, what do you call it:

* Drop scope -- this one sounds nice to me
* Autodiscard scope -- this explains that it is cleaned up automatically
* Roundtrip scope -- this explains what is it for
* Castaway scope
* Hold scope
* JettiScope (from "jettison", but may seem related to Jetty server)
* Just call it FlashScope like in Stripes
* Nah, FlashScope has Macromedia smell, should be something different,
like ____ (suggest yours)
