Storing User in Session

[Tom Holmes Jr.]

I did some research before this before posting, and I apologize if this 
is a simple stupid question.

With my web-site, a user is going to login, when they enter in the 
username and password, the data from that user will be retrieved from 
the database so we can validate the username and password.  If the 
username and password match, I want to store that User in session, or 
somewhere, so I can keep that information all over the site.  The 
information in the session won't be too large.

Also, when the user creates a new Member to the site, I want to at that 
time also hold the information in session, or whereever, so ... the 
question I have is ... would this be the UserDTO information?  Because 
the form-bean information seems to go away and refresh every time we 
reload the form, so it seems to me that if the user went to edit his 
information, then I would transfer the UserDTO information (stored in 
session?) to the form as default values.

Thanks for all the help, and sorry to be a bother ....
                Tom
