pass action form object from one action to another

I have 2 action classes which share the same action form. I have defined the action form in request scope for both of them. Can you please tell me how to transfer this form object from 1st action to 2nd action.

I am avoiding sessions due to IE shares the same session across windows/tabs.

Employee Management app: When admin edits an employee, it has 3 tabs. Personal, Education, Background. Each tab represents a separate action class, which all share the common employeeForm action form class. So when admin is on Personal tab, it populates the employeeForm object with all the employee related dat开发者_高级运维a. Please tell me how to transfer this object from one tab to another, so that I dont hit the DB again.

Struts 1 or Struts 2?

If it's Struts 1.x, then you need to add <html:hidden> tags within the tab's <html:form>, for each of the properties you want to share between tabs.
