Accessing data in session scope form beans

["Paull, Lori (DST-CLT)" <lo...@dstinteractive.com>]

I'm trying to figure out how I can access data that was entered into a
session-scoped form bean from an earlier screen within an action class.
Specifically, the value that I'm interested in was entered on a search
screen and saved with a variety of other criteria in a search ActionForm
class.  Some of these values are needed as parameters to database calls that
populate other screens.  How can I reference the search ActionForm within
each action class that needs access to those values?

Thanks!

Assuming that the actions that need to access the search form bean know the
name of the bean, you can access it directly within the session:

ActionForm searchForm =
(ActionForm)session.getAttribute(searchFormBeanName);
