How to pass the object from one context to another context in struts-websphere combination

How to pass the object in this action class(do we need to set it here in request,session or application scope) from one context to another context and how to access this object in in different context action class.

am using websphere application server.

index.jsp
<HEAD>

<BODY>
<form action="/employee/EmployeAction">
<input type='text' name='empname' value='1'>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Open in new window

EmployeAction.java

public class EmployeAction extends Action {
	public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
			HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse httpservletresponse)
			throws Exception {

		if (form == null) {
			return mapping.findForward("success");
		}
		
			
		String empname =request.getParameter("empname");
		Employee emp = new Employee();
		emp.setName(empname);

	//  how to store or pass this object here in this action class(do we need to set it here session or application scope) and	how to access this object in in different context action //class.
	//am using websphere application server.

		/dept/DeptAction
			
		
		return mapping.findForward("success");
	}
}

you cannot pass an object to a different context, they are independant applications

try setting the required objects in Session variable , and access them from your desired class/jsp
But it will only be available in that particular HTTP session.

request.getSession().setAttribute("attribute name",object);

suraj,

if you are passing object from one context to another context session scope will not work.

objects,

this employee object is having multiple variables and need to pass this object in diff contexts.how to overcome this problem??

Mick Barry

session is only available in the same context so won't help for sending to a different context
if you're just forwarding within the same context then you should pass it as a request attribute

Mick Barry

to pass to a different context then you'll need to do a redirect and include the details need as request parameters
