sharing data between javabeans and servlets

[Gary N]

Hi -

Is it possible to share information between javabeans and regular
servlets?

I have an application that sets/stores WEB data using beans (in one
frame). In another frame, engineering graphs are displayed using a
servlet. The servlet really needs some of the bean data. Can I
obtain the bean data in the servlet without first passing it back to
the jsp and then submitting it to the servlet?

Thanks for the help?

Gary,
One of the ways of achieving this could be the usage the ServletContext, and
depending on the scope (or life span) of the data that needs to be shared
you ould also use a Session object. You just pass the object to the bean,
and the bean can read and write back to it.
Hope this helps,
