title: Is there a way to put Java objects in a POST request from a JSP?
body: <p>I have a JSP page that renders, and calls a Web service to load some initial data. The user fills out some form information, and then submits it to the server, which could possibly return the same JSP page for further processing (and another submit). The initial data never changes, but it is an object representation, so I'm trying to figure out how to maintain it between each POST so I'm not always calling the service. Is a session variable the only way to do this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!</p>
