I am going to display below results in the JSP page. I have a Wizard kind of a flow, where user can go back & forth by clicking on the different Tabs provided (Edit, Search, Review, Finish). I can�t use sessions in my application.
First column: a check box Second column: Client Number Third column:Cleint Name Fourth column: Portfolio Fifth column: Drop Down Six column: Radio Button
I need to save all the selections made into the JavaScript Object and pass through it back & forth. I don�t know how to use it. Can any of you please provide any information on how I set all the request values to the Java Script Objects? Any code samples or any help is greatly appreciated.

Let me guess. You've got some idiot CTO or project leader that told you not to use sessions regardless of when they are the right tool for the job?
Any JavaScript objects will be lost going from page to page. If you "can't" use the session, you'll need to pass them as request parameters to each page.
If you can't use sessions, you could keep all the needed stuff in the request, by using hidden parameters. Get the needed values from the submitted form, then put them in hidden tags.
I'm also curious about why you can't use sessions, as the above method works, but maintainability is close from 0%
Reason we don�t want to use session because our application will be running on multiple servers & we don�t have session persistent mechanism. Users request can be served from any of these servers & how can we handle session persistent data? In this scenario can I still make use of sessions?
My application will be are part of an inner frame, outer frame being the parent frame. Outer frame will not be refreshed; inner frame is where my application will live. Can�t I use a JavaScript Objects in the outer frame to save my request data and pass it on the request values?
In the given scenario which is the better approach using session or Java Script? I can use the Hidden parameters, but they will be lot of data manipulations back & forth. That will be my last option to go with.
