Hi All, I have a silly question, aren't we suppose to share the same session object among JSPs and Servlets. I'm trying to set the value of a session variable in a JSP page. Then I call a servlet off of that page. Inside servlet I dont get the session variable value. I thought I should get the value. I'm pasting sample code for a JSP page and Servlet. Can some one please help me and tell me what is wrong,
JSP Code [SetSession.jsp] <html> <head> <META name="GENERATOR" content="IBM WebSphere Studio"> </head> <body> <FORM ACTION="http://localhost:8080/servlet/GetSession"; METHOD="GET"> <% session.setAttribute("username", "Test User"); String username = (String)session.getAttribute("username"); %> Welcome , <b><%= username %></b>! <p> Your session ID is <% out.println( session.getId() ); %> <p> <INPUT type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html> [Servlet Code] [GetSession.java] // Import Servlet Libraries import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; // Import Java Libraries import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class GetSession extends HttpServlet { public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException { res.setContentType("text/html"); PrintWriter out = res.getWriter(); StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(1024); // Set the header for the page buffer.append("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>"); buffer.append("Test App</TITLE>"); buffer.append("</HEAD>"); buffer.append("<BODY>"); HttpSession session = req.getSession(true); String username = (String) session.getAttribute("username"); if (username==null) { buffer.append("<h4>Username is null</h4>"); } else { buffer.append("<h4>UserName is </h4>" + username); } buffer.append("</BODY></HTML>"); out.println(buffer.toString()); out.close(); } // doGet } Thanks, - Rizwan =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
