Hi, I have a jsp which contains the following code: bean1 is this form's backing bean and it is request scoped. What I notice is that bean1 is constructed once when the form is displayed, but also a second time before the actionListener ( update ) is invoked. As a result the second request to the bean (the HTTP request) does not contain what it originally did anymore. Can anyone please explain this behavior (and offer a solution...). Thanks, Zohar    More>>
