Scenario:
On click of a 'Submit' button I have unmarshalled the XML to Java and then displaying the Java objects(created a formbean and mapped the JAXB java Objects to this formbean- PolicyForm and using this formbean to display in JSP) in the JSP.This is working fine.

Issue: I have one more button -Calculate on the same page with in the same form of Submit button. On click of the 'Calculate' button I need to get the acordform values which was unmarshalled during the click of Submit button. Here I am not able to get the acordform values instead I am getting the new object of acordform.

When I have googled I see- Struts 2 doesn't have thread-safety issues as "Action objects are instantiated for each request". Please let me know here when I am sending the request again is the Action object- acordform being instantitaed every time? If yes, how can I avoid this ? Since I need the acordformobject values even in the next request too.

Action Class:
public class RateAction extends ActionSupport implements
ServletRequestAware,SessionAware {

/*... */

// ACORD xml form bean
private ACORD acordform = new ACORD();

//To display the values in the JSP
private PolicyForm policyForm;

public ACORD getAcordform() {
return acordform;
}

public void setAcordform(ACORD acordform) {
this.acordform = acordform;
}

public String doSubmit() {
/*... Unmatshalling from XML to Java -acordform is done.. */
}

public String doRateSubmimt()
{
/*.. trying to get the acordform values which are being set
previously in doSubmit() method... */
}
}
