How to create Session

[Rameez Shaik]

Hi,

I created a web application where i need to include Sessions management.

Lets consider three pages "Login.html", "Validation.java" (servlet) , "HomePage.jsp";

In the login.html form i have set action as Validation.java which is a servlet for validation of data from database.

And when Validation is successful then it directs to homepage.jsp . I want to know how to set Session for this application.

I have tried following steps but unable to go through.

> i have set the session in homepage.jsp as

<%
   String name = request.getParameter( "emp_id" );
   session.setAttribute( "theName", name );

Hello, <%= session.getAttribute( "theName" ) %> // And try to retrieve/print employee id session in home page.
%>

But i get the session as null. please let me know if any thing i am missing?

Thanks
Rameez.

First validate user in Servlet and then write like this

HttpSession session= request.getSession();
String name = request.getParameter( "emp_id" );  
if(validation is success){
session.setAttribute( "theName", name ); 
}

get that session in jsp use JSTL not Scriptlets
