Hi
Try to send jsessionid with request as follow
<a href="main.jsp;jsessionid=<%=session.getId()%>">Page</a>

Your servlet and the JSP have to be in the same web application if they are to share the same session. Perhaps that is the cause of the problem.

//servlet
public void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)throws IOException,ServletException
{
Session session=req.getSession();
String userid="Dayanand";
Xyz obj1=new Xyz();
session.setAttribute("OBJECT1",obj1);
session.setAttribute("USERID",userid);
...
}
//jsp
<%
Xyz obj= (Xyz)session.getValue("OBJECT1");
String userid=(String)session.getAttribute("USERID");

%>

getValue and putValue are deprecated !. They will return null value from Version 2.2. So as Dayanad indicates use getAttribute and setAttribute. For further clarification refer Servlet API documentation.

Hi Dayanand
i am using jdk1.2.2 so when i try to use the method
session.setAttribute("string",object);
it is not compiling and giving the error
setAttributes(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object) not found in interface javax.servelt.http.HttpServlet.
so do u want me to change jdk version?
and also can u please tell me how to set initial parameters for web.xml file on tomcat webserver.
