How to store values in session variables for use later

Question

I am trying to read user input from a form, lookup some values from a database,
store the combined data into session to retrieve later in the subsequent pages
in a pageflow application. Could someone guide me as to how exactly to do this?
The documentation doesn't seem to be of much help.
Thanks,
Krishna K

Krishna,
     If you will be using the data within the course of the same page flow
or nested page flows then you should store the data in the page flow
itself. Simply declaring variables in the .jpf will do this. The page
flow is stored in the session for you and it is deleted when the user
exits the page flow. This is good because it keeps down session size.
     If you have data that you want to use across page flows then you will
need to store in the session or globalApp.
     Here is a link to "Using Data Binding in Page Flows" it has an example
of storing data into the session and it goes into the pros and cons of
using each data binding scope.
