thanks tom for your suggestion..
i perfomed an experiment by placing a string in the
session on a jsp page and then tried to access that
string from another page. it worked perfectly. so
now the question becomes: how do i place something
into the session from a servlet so that a jsp can find
it? could there be a config parameter that i am
missing? could it be in the way i redirect to the
jsp?
i agree with Kit's advice and in fact i am working on
a bean implementation of this functionality. but i
need to get this inelegant hack working asap.. ;-)
