action class to action class interaction

["Kevin J. Turner" <kt...@dceg.com>]

I have many action classes that share a particular form bean. I would 
like to use the session sparingly, therefore I would like to use 
request scope for my form bean.

In some situations, a path similar to the following, is followed:

actionClass1 --> JSP1 --> actionClass2 --> actionClass3 --> JSP2

If all three classes share my request-scoped form bean, then how does 
the form data get retained from actionClass1 to actionClass3? Does 
actionClass2 need forward the request data along explicitly, i.e. 
request.setAttribute() ? I guess I'm just not understanding how to 
properly use request scope beans.

I tried using session-scoped system state beans to store the data 
between requests but that just seemed like twice the work. The system 
state beans had nearly the same data as the form beans. It seemed 
redundant.
