Nope, that's not it (but I don't know what is, yet). Attributes stored in a ServletContext have a webapp, not session, scope; no session is needed here, and nothing needs to be communicated between the client and server to retrieve them. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
