"session" vs "request" for "scope" in <action&g 1

[pravzICS]

Hi all,

In the <action> tag, the attribute "scope" is either "session" or "request" ? what is the significance of both? when do we use "session" and when do we use "request" ?

please suggest. thanks.

Hi,

It really depends, if you put the scope as request the ActionForm with user entered values will in request scope, if you specify it be in session the ActionForm will be in session scope. The best example where you use session is when are developing a "Wizard" where a user can go back and forward to change the entered values.

Cheers
