Thanks Ian and Christian for such a quick response :) The reason to store a form in session is to maintain its state. Simplest use of this is in repopulating after validation. Now, validation is taken care by Symfony as a special case, as I saw in the book.
But, there are several other instances where storing a form in session is required. Let us say there are 3 tabs on the screen, each with a form. User populates some data on first tab, and switches to second tab. This action should submit the first form, but not update it in the DB. User enters some data in the second tab, and wants to come back to first tab to again edit some data. This is a very common requirement...How would we typically do this is Symfony? Actually, keeping the forms for the full session creates session bloat. So, this facility should be used with care, and the forms should be cleaned up once this workflow is done. I hope you can help further on this...I've refered the book, but didnt find immediate reference to this kind of requirement...
