Thanks for the tip, but I'll need an actual code snippet, because when I make my action implement SessionAware, I need to also implement the setSession() method, and I'm back to square 1, trying to figure out how to create a session object. I can send a HashMap to the method, but what does it have to contain? What is the actual setting that needs to go in it, since I need to implement it?
