Sean,
thanks for your replay

Matthias,
Its true that object creation can be expensive but you also have to consider how often the underlying data (assuming it comes from a database) changes. In Struts you have ActionForms which are essentially request scope beans (similar to but not the same as backing beans). Its no big deal constantly creating these every
sure not similar, since backing beans has more *features* as only being a "form-bean". Btw. scope attribute's value of <action/> is "session" as default.
request.
You also want to consider that session beans take up server memory. If you have ten different backing beans for ten different pages you
will have ten beans sitting around in memory for each user that goes
through those ten pages (until the session expires.)
ah, yes good point! thanks.
In my application we are going to have to use a lot of request scope beans beacause the data needs to be up to date. It can be changed by
That is also the thing that I wanted to do! But my co-worker said: "make them to session, sicne creation is VERY expensive"

other users at any time, so we want to show the latest on every request. In theory you could have a session bean to avoid recreating the object and use a scheme to repopulate it but I am not wild about that.
Ok, thanks!
I remember that Craig also allways mentioned request instead of session, but couldn't find a thread on that...

Hi all,
I am just on reading [1]. There is mentioned, that object creation is very expensive and you should better reuse objects instead of creating them often.
Now I thought about scope of my backing beans. What should be better request or session?
If I have request scoped backing beans that get often created by ONE user and I have MANY users... will request scope slow down my web app?
Ok... application is also there, but that is an other stage :-) I would use such a backing bean only for *knowing* about ALL users logged into the application.
