So How to send it to the browser

[Raghu ram]

so that username has to get in the changeprofile browser.

What do you mean by "send it to the browser"? Session attributes exist (and are used) on the server.

[Raghu ram]

  session.setAttribute("username", username);   String username = (String)session.getAttribute("username");  

from this code we will get username attribute. So to use this attribute in another servlet what should i do.

Nothing much. Once you say, setAttribute, it sets the attribute in the particular session on the Server.

In any other servlet or jsp, you can get access to the session first and then from the session, you can get the attribute by making use of "getAttribute()".
