Andy,
Does your browser accept cookies? If not, turn on the acceptance of cookies b/c the
session object makes use of them to "remember" itself.
You have to first retrieve the session, then retrieve the object from it. Did you do
that?
I would assume this is your code:
setting: HttpSession sessionName = requst.getSession();
sessionName.setAttribute("objectName", someObject);
getting: HttpSession sessionName = request.getSession();
someObject objectName = (someObject)
sessionName.getAttribute("objectName");
If not, fix your code.
It's possible to maintain a session w/out cookies, but you'll have to look that up
yourself. :)

Frans,
Thanks for your reply.
It is in the same servlet context. Are you saying that it is in the same directory?
All my files are in the same directory. However, I do have my classes and the web.xml
file stored in the WEB-INF directory within my main application directory.
Any suggestions or ideas that I could possibly try?
Thanks!
--Andy.

Is the page to which you are redirecting a servlet inside the same ServletContext. A
session can only be used from within the same ServletContext, i.e. the web application
directory.
