Want to store data instead of session and request

[shubha.java@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am using spring 3 . And I try to create a shopping cart type application where all the input data persist on buffer until user check out the order.I can able to solve this issue by using either Request and Session.But I want to know that is there any other way instead of Session /Request .

Thanks & Regards

If you use Spring MVC (or other request based frameworks) there is only request and session. If you use JSF or Web Flow you have some other 'scopes' in which you can store data. But that is all there is.
