Chris, here's your problem: You are storing temp as a session attribute, but retrieving it as a request sttribute. So replace (String) request.getAttribute("file") with (String) session.getAttribute("file"), and you should be ok.. > > System.out.println("file= "+temp); > session.setAttribute("file", temp); > return actionMapping.findForward("playThis"); Regards, Geeta
