David, The putValue and getValue methods of the session object have been deprecated as of JSP standard 1.2 (if my memory serves me correctly). If you are using a JSP 1.2 or greater compliant container (servelet/JSP compiler), try the session.getAttribute() and Session.setAttribute methods.

I needed a way of trapping the user name and some statitistical information for the duration of the session. So I started placing variables in the session object like this: session.putValue("StTime",time); time being a local String that contains the starting time for the request. On the next page, I wanted to access the variable, so I perform: String time = (String)session.getValue("StTime"); This works well in IE 5.5 but in IE6, the variable is ALWAYS null. I've tried several different machine with several settings including allowing allo cookies and setting the security to the lowest possible. I set up a machine next to me and in IE5.5 the page displays fine and the variable is set. in IE 6, no such luck. Anyone have any advice or run into this before? =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
