Can you paste the code you're using to test?
The JSP, under the hood is a servlet that runs in the servlet container
(tomcat or something of similar nature). All the variables that are
used in the JSP end up in that servlet. Now, based on how you declared
them, they end up at different places in that servlet (local variables
vs. class variables). The container manages the lifecycle of this
class.
The objID value is retained when reloading the JSP page. This is taken from
thisPage bean and is clearly because thisPage stays alive across page
reloads. The confusing part is that the line:
PageBean thisPage = adminDataModel.getCampaignPageModel();
.... should re-initialise thisPage (it includes returns a "new" PageBean
object) when it's called.
My code is below:
==============
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" %>
<%@ include file="include/common.jsp" %>
<%@ include file="include/commonPrivate.jsp" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Vector" %>
<%@ page import="com.dgs.cccm.beans.*" %>
<jsp:useBean class="com.dgs.cccm.cont.admin.AdminDataModel"
id="adminDataModel" scope="page" />
<jsp:useBean class="com.dgs.cccm.cont.validator.AdminValidator"
id="validator" scope="page" />
<jsp:useBean class="com.dgs.cccm.db.DataProxyMSSQL" id="dataProxy"
scope="page" />
<jsp:useBean class="com.dgs.cccm.html.HTMLFormGenerator"
id="htmlFormGenerator" scope="page" />
<jsp:useBean class="com.dgs.cccm.html.HTMLComponentGenerator"
