More like this one. When you put something in the session, it stays there until you explicitly delete it (or the session times out.) This is something the web container does for you and independent of Struts. The Struts JSP option tag is told to look in the session for a list of options in a specified bean.
In your example, you want A to put the list in the session (form bean.) While you happen to be storing the list in the form bean, it really could be stored anywhere in the session. The form bean is a logical place, so this is good. Obviously, the JSP sees it on the first shot. When you submit again, form.reset() is called. As long as this doesn't blank out the list, it will still be there when the JSP next looks for it.
So the two keys here are:
1) Keep form in session scope
2) Don't blank out list of regions
ption value="-1">-- Select Region --</html
