No worries. I added the following to doPost in my servlet: HttpSession session = request.getSession(true); String username = request.getParameter("username"); if ( username == null ) username = "noParameter"; if ( "".equals( username ) ) username = "noParameter"; System.out.println(username); session.setAttribute("usr", username);
I added the following to my JSP: String username = ( request.getParameter("usr")); out.println("username >>" + username); String usr = (String)session.getAttribute("usr"); out.println("usr >>" + usr); I should added that my JSP is a frameset with 2 frames. That could be the problem!!!
