Incompatible type for method. Can't convert int to java.lang.Object.
The specfication states setAttribute( String, Object ), so my suggestion is to convert the int into a String object before inserting into the session. Upon retrieval, you can cast the session value to the expected datatype int.

I don't see the offending method call in the code you posted. The only call to setAttribute I see is:
session.setAttribute("user", login);
Which should work fine. The declaration of setAttribute is
public void setAttribute(java.lang.String name,
java.lang.Object value)
so you ahve to send it a string as the name of the attribute and an Object as the value. If you're trying to use an int as the value you'll get the Exception you describe. Try to convert the int to an Integer then store it:
session.setAttribute("user", new Integer(int));
That should do it for you.

Or an Integer. You can have:
// where result is some int
session.setAttribute("user", new Integer(result))
To retrieve it the cast is mandatory:
int n = ((Integer) session.getAttribute("user")).intValue();
