What you have to do is create sessions using the HttpSession Class of jva
servlets
This is for setting the session
HttpSession session = req.getSession(true);
session.putValue("variable name",value);
While receiving the session
login = (String) session.getValue("variable name");
But this mechanism only works when cookies are enabled . Else you have to
use URL rewriting or hidden fields
The sessions can be killed by the setting the time.
All this is explained well Java Servlet Programming by Jason Hunter.

Subject: Servlet sessions per user login?
