Thank you for your reply, Denis. I am sure the value I try to put in a session is not null. We used Websphere and Tomcat 4.0.1 as our testing environment and the codes are running OK. Only when we tried to use Tomcat3.3 giving us this error message. We suspect either our setting in wrong or there is a bug in Tomcat3.3.
