when the scope is request,

the values of form bean would be available for one the current request.

when the scope is session,

the values of form bean would be available throughout the session.

if you are using request scope the ActionForm is available only until the end of the request/response cycle.one the response has been returned to the client the actionform and the data within it are no langer accessible.if u want to keep the form data around for langer than a sigle request your can fonfig an actonform to have session scope

The request scope retains the values in form bean until the request is completed.where as during the session scope the Form bean values are placed in session.and the session is maintained throughtout the action.

In session scope data can be saved for a fixed time or a session but in request scope data can not save more than one page

sesion scope exists throutout the the session. i.e until the session expires(default 30 mins) or the users logs out. request scope dies once the page is loaded.

When a form bean is stored with request scope, the form bean will be available for this particular request only.But, if it is with in session scope, the form bean is availble to use till the user session is valid.

Hi,

     If we specify scope="request" in the action entry of struts-config.xml then whenever the jsp page will be displayed its corresponsing formbeans' reset method will be called. If we specify scope="session"(or not specify b'coz default scope is session), then

formbeans' reset method will not be called.

Form Bean:  dedicated class for keeping all records after getting these from the corrosponding JSP Form.

Every JSP constitute One view in the application.

Difference between two actions( session and request). 

when we want to pass the attribute value from one view to another, we use request object to take care of this.

At the same time, to get some attribute value to be present throughtout the session, means from login till logout, we use session object to take care of this.

This is what, as i think, you want.

if you are using request scope the ActionForm is available only until the end of the request/response cycle.once the response has been returned to the client the actionform and the data within it are no longer accessible.if u want to keep the form data around for longer than a single request you can have actonform in session scopeby default the actionform is in session scope until unless u define scope as request the one practical scenario where i have come across is when we have checkbox or multibox in the view page then the actionform need to be set to request scope in order to get the correct values of the checkbox/multibox during multiple inserts.else i havn't come across any considerable difference, we can use session scope.

When you use a form with request scope...& if using struts validator the validation on form fails, then is the previously entered value are retained?

Request scope is valid for one page to another page only.But Session scope valid for total application within period of a time.

When we want the action form to persist the values across the request, we set the action form to session scope.

For ex. When i submit the registration form with some errors in the form, then in the Action form fields validation throws errors in the JSP page and we want to retain the entered values so that the user feels less pain while resubmitting the page.
