Re: How to remove ActionForm with session scope from the session object

[Kris Schneider <kr...@dotech.com>]

True, you probably don't want to keep your forms in session scope just
for kicks. But assuming they're there for a reason, here's one
(untested) way you might be able to track them down (at least for
1.0.2).

ActionMappings mappings =
(ActionMappings)context.getAttribute(Action.MAPPINGS_KEY);
String[] paths = mappings.findMappings();
for (int i = 0, n = paths.length; i < n; i++) {
  ActionMapping mapping = mappings.findMapiing(paths[i]);
  if ("session".equals(mapping.getScope())) {
    session.removeAttribute(mapping.getName());
  }
}

Of course, if you want to skip the mapping(s) for your current action
(set of actions), you'll have to test for the occurrence of it's (their)
path(s) within the loop, but you should get the idea...
