String userID = session.getAttribute("userID"); - gives an error "cannot find symbol variable session"
So I changed it to this,
String userID = HttpSession.getAttribute("userID");...and I get an error message that says, "non-static methods getAttribute(java.lang.String) cannot be referenced from a static context"
The answer may be my syntax on that line, I'm not sure.
(This is the code, it's not a servlet)
public class SQL92FormDetailDAO implements FormDetailDAO { private Connection connection;
public SQL92FormDetailDAO(Connection connection) {
this.connection = connection;
} public List listFormDetail() {
List items = new ArrayList();
Statement statement =null;
try {
statement = connection.createStatement();
String userID = session.getAttribute("userID");
String query = "select name, formdetail from "
+ "forms where userID = " + userID;Thank for the great responses! -Jim

Sorry Jim, I have to agree with the other posters...this is a really unclear question.
I think what you are asking is this: When a user logs in, i want to put the user id and password somewhere that i can always find it easily.
If so, put it in session scope. It will be there until the session expires, and you can get to it from a JSP or servlet.
If you need it available from everything in the web app, you could use something like a filter in conjunction with ThreadLocal to do that...but I do not think that is such a great idea. IMO, keeping it in session, and passing it to your model is a cleaner and more maintainable design.
