By doing a forward (as opposed to a redirect) you actually have access to more data, not less. You have access to the request, session and application scopes with a forward, whereas you only have session and application scope access with a redirect. Notice though that you should always have access to the session from within the same web application context. So the two possibilities that come to mind are that you are moving from one web application context to another (i.e. from one war file to another) or that you have <%@ page session="false"%> at the top of your pages, explicitly blocking session access.

I'm thinking my problem might be related to the fact that my mappings in struts-config.xml are using forwards? Does this sound like it could be the problem? For example, from the home page you can link to the FAQ page. Here is the mapping for the FAQ page from my struts-congif.xml file: "<action path="/home/faqs/" forward="flc.faqs" />". By doing a forward action, does my session get losdt somehow? -D > > Quick question - > > I have a web application built on Struts 1.2.9.
