share and is this the case?

Yes, actually more than two beans. The application is a way for users
to import a document into our document management system. (Documentum)
without having an account on the system. They basically provide
metadata for the document (title, subject, etc) and then supply the
file, review their submission and then import into Documentum or save
it (database) to import at a later time. When the user logs in they
will have the option to start a new document or edit one of the ones
they haven't finished yet. Either way the process is similar, the only
difference is that if they choose edit we start the process with an
already existing Document object (from database) otherwise we create
one. The general idea is to pass this document object along from bean
to bean updating it and putting it back in to the request until they are
ready to import or save it for later. This has proved harder than I
originally though it would be.
