Is it possible to have more than one HttpServletRequest object per session? I am trying to store a request from one form as a session object, process an intermediary form, and then pass the original request to a servlet. I have a couple clunky ways of doing this (having the servlet write a hidden form from the request object and passing this along). I tried to create a session object like...

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, java.io.IOException { HttpSession session = request.getSession(); session.setAttribute("form_data", request);

...and test the original value with...

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, java.io.IOException { HttpSession session = request.getSession(); HttpServletRequest old_form = (HttpServletRequest)session.getAttribute("form_data"); String a_field = old_form.getParameter("textfield");

to see if I get the original field value for the form field called "textfield", but I get a null value. Does anyone have any clever ways of storing a request object and then submitting later in the session?

Best regards to all! Aaron
