Thanks for the feedback, everyone.  In summary: keeping database
transactions open across HTTP requests is a really bad idea.

The reason we didn't do it LAST time is that our app-server didn't support
servlets natively, so I basically ended up having to write a mini
servlet-engine.  Long story.  Suffice it to say that I was in a hurry, and
didn't have time to code support for sessions.

However, I think we'll definitely be using session-data rather than
hidden-fields this time.  Particularly now that the "long transaction" idea
is out the window :-)

cheers,
Mike Williams
