Saving FormBean in Request Scope for multi-request workflow

[ben4711]

Hi!

I'm trying to use the request scope for a wizard-like form, spread over several pages. By using the request scope, I want to avoid side-effects detected by using session scope.

The problem is, that the data gets lost, no matter what I do. The form is submitted to an action where the data is still there. At the end of the action, I put the FormBean back into the request scope by using

request.setAttribute("formBean", formBean);

Unfortunately the data is lost nevertheless on the next page/action.

Is it right, that I MUST use session scope for multi-request forms or is there something else wrong in my code? I think Struts reinitializes the FormBean, right?

I appreciate every hint, thanks!
Ben

Try using the session scope. So that you store the bean in a session:

session.setAttribute("formbean", formBean);
