I know this will is picky, but... QA is important.
>> s.putAttribute("User", u);
This line of code is incorrect! There is no HttpSession.putAttribute()
method. I believe that the responder was trying to refer to the
HttpSession.putValue() method which was deprecated as of version 2.2. The
correct code is:
s.setAttribute("User", u);
>> User u = s.getAttribute("User");
This line of code will fail. The HttpSession.getAttribute() method returns
a java.lang.Object reference. Hence, you must explicitly cast the result to
the correct class. This is correct:
User u = (User)s.getAttribute("User");
Not to be too picky, but this code is being kept for the "generations", so
to speak. Better to have it correct, IMHO.
