Re: Newbie question: Deleting an ActionForm that is in session scope.

Folks,

I have a wizard framework that uses the same ActionForm to collect data as
the wizard progresses.
The scope of the ActionForm is session so that values are preserved when the
user navigates back and forwards through the wizard.
When I get to the end of the wizard, I don't want the same data to be
displayed next time the user starts the same wizard.
Do I just remove the ActionForm from the session attribute list?
Or should I leave the Form in the session attribute list and clear each of
its fields?
Or is either approach OK?
 

I don't know what the canonical way of doing this is, but what I do to 
achieve precisely the effect you are after is to invalidate the session 
in the Action class, after everything's done:

    req.getSession().invalidate();

This works for me!
