Don't use sessions. You need to embrace the atomic nature of a web
request, and just reconstruct the object on each request. Each
request should have all of the information required to reconstruct the
object. I am not sure what you are trying to do, but maybe you need
hidden form fields to retain state across requests.
In my opinion, sessions should be used very sparingly.
