Store a Variable

Could anyone tell me

> How to store a value from an iview globally so that all other iviews on all other pages have access to it.

I've been struggling Server Cookies.My dropdown gets this value from the Cookie, but only after a manual refresh of the Iview.I read & set the cookie in a Bean of my Dynpage.

>Also, is the "selection" attribute of the htmlb dropdown box can get value from the Bean Only? i tried with Javascript function .(function returns a value).

Iam getting a runtime error.

>request.getCookies() in the Dynpage shows method deprecated but still works..is there any other method for that?

Thanks
