I'm not sure I fully understand what you're trying to do, but it seems like there is some confusion over the request scope and how long it lasts. Your first request scope ends once index.jsp loads; if you want to use the junkbean again after that, you have to save it again, either in the new request or in the session (or possibly other places, but those are the 2 most obvious). So LogonAction would only be able to get junkbean from the request if index.jsp put it there (again).
