problem with session tracking

[Raj Neets]

Hello Everyone
I have a problem with HttpSession tracking.Here is the piece of code that iam working on
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
session.setAttribute("ssn",ssn);
String tt=(String)session.getAttribute("ssn");
System.out.println("**********"+tt);

response.sendRedirect(response.encodeURL("employee_option.html"));
// rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatche("/employee_option.html");
//rd.forward(request,response);
My problem is, from a servlet iam calling a HTML page, then from that HTML page iam calling another servlet.iam trying to creating a session in the frist servlet and get it back in the second servlet.But getAttribute() method returns Null in second servlet.so for debugging i used getAttribute()[shown in the code],it also returns NULL value in the same servlet.Iam working with weblogic7 server.Can some please tell me where iam going wrong.
Thanx
Raj.

Hello Raj,
Ofcourse I am new to java, I had a similar problem while working with servlets with JSP. I think you have to uncomment the requestdispatcher code and then try. Hope it works, I am not sure. sorry
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
session.setAttribute("ssn",ssn);
String tt=(String)session.getAttribute("ssn");
System.out.println("**********"+tt);
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeURL("employee_option.html"));
// rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatche("/employee_option.html");
//rd.forward(request,response);
// rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatche("/employee_option.html");

Hello Swapna
I tried doing that but it didn't work.
Is there anything that has to be enabled in weblogic to supports Session tracking.
thanx
Raj

Can you plz check where you are setting the value of "ssn" in session, is having some value or not?

Excellent Sanjay
Thank you very much, by mistake i was not assigning correct value to the variable ssn.so it was taking null value.
Really help me, i never thought of checking the variable ssn.
Thank you very much.
