session.getAttributeNames()

[chris]

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a way to get a list of attribute names of the session in a JSP page.

In a Servlet I would do this with the following code:

Enumeration e = session.getAttributeNames();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String)e.nextElement();
String value = session.getAttribute(name).toString();
System.out.println("name is: " + name + " value is: " + value);
}

Is there a way to get the name and value pairs in JSP as well? If yes, could you please show the code?

Thanks
Chris

If you are writing old-fashioned JSP pages with scriplets, the same way.

If you're writing modern scriptless JSP pages, remember that the sessionScope implicit scoped variable is an implementation of a Map that you can iterate over. So...

<c:forEach items="${sessionScope}" var="item">
  <p>${item.key}=${item.value}</p>
</c:forEach>
