The solution depends upon how you define "later".
A) If it is after many days, even after the session expires, then it has
to be a cookie. The cookie can have the 15 values, or it can be a key
which can point to these values in some sort of persistence
storage(database) on the server side. With a cookie, a user has to
ability to modify the value of a persistant cookie which is being sent
to the server.

B) If it is just for the duration of the HttpSession on the server, you
can put it in the session.
