Sorry if I was not clear. I am able to create other servlets and
compile them. When I attempt to use the .*Attribute methods of the
HttpSession interface, the compiler (javac) threw the aforementioned
errors. If I use the deprecated .*Value methods, no problem. Also,
the compiler throws no warning about using deprecated methods...
Hmmmmm Now that I write that out it makes me think that it is
finding a previous version of servlets. I'll see what I can find but
if anyone else has any suggestions, I'm listening.

What exactly is it complaining about? That there is no setAttribute
method? And who is complaining? The server? (Since you say you can
compile, it must be the server.) This sounds like the server is using
a 2.1 compliant servlet package. Check the classpath used by the
server.
