I recommend not using session, unless it is completely necessary. I have had memory issues, and other problems like garbage colleciton when putting information into the session. Basically like one of the other responders said, just populate your form, do your validation, and pass it along to another action. In the next form, if you just want to pass the variables to the next form, just put them into hidden fields in that form. Still using the same bean, they will get autopopulated, and so on and so on.
IMOHO it is best to stay away from session information unless it is something that is necessary for the full site.
