Answer 1

to pass on object in session scope:

request.getSession().setAttribute("obj",objVal);

struts will automatically put objects into a request or session by using the parameter attribute in the struts-action file. Then, if you are using the struts:html tag library, forms using this tag library will populate themselves. For more info, see the struts class for ActionForm.

But to place an object directly into the session yourself, you can use the code above.
