Setting HttpSession Attribute Not Working (Struts)

[Zak Nixon]

Hello all:

I am trying to create a simple login action for my website.
I have a login.jsp page that finds the users credentials, and if valid,
saves the users object in the HttpSession.

Here is my code for the login action:

  
public class LoginAction extends Action {
 
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping actionMapping, ActionForm      actionForm, HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse) throws Exception {
 
        
        DynaValidatorForm form = (DynaValidatorForm) actionForm;
 
        String userName = (String) form.get("username");
        String password = (String) form.get("password");
 
        // .. OTHER BUSINESS LOGIC GOES HERE.....
        HttpSession session = httpServletRequest.getSession();
        session.setAttribute("user",user);
        return (actionMapping.findForward("success"));
 
    }
 

}

And the corresponding ActionMapping in my struts-config.xml:

<action path="/login"
            type="actions.LoginAction"
            name="loginForm"
            scope="session"
input="/emp/login.jsp"
            validate="true"
            >
            <forward
                    name="success"
                    path="/emp/addrecord.jsp"/>
    <forward
                    name="errors"
                    path="/emp/login.jsp"/>
        </action>
 

And the corresponding form-bean declaration:

       
<form-bean name="loginForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm"> 
     <form-property name="username" type="java.lang.String" />
  <form-property name="password" type="java.lang.String" />
   </form-bean>

This is the many attempts to try to retrieve the "user" object:

  
<logic :-P	 resent parameter="user">
This attribute is here.
</logic :-P	 resent>
 

<logic:notPresent parameter="user">
This attribute is not here.
</logic:notPresent>
 
<jsp:useBean id="user" class="obj.SystemUser" scope="session">
<%System.out.println( "Username:"+user.getUsername()); %>
</jsp:useBean>
 

I always seem to get that the attribute,"user", is never set, therefore not being able to be retrieved.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Try this, maybe it works.

<logic: present name="user" scope="session">
This attribute is here.
</logic: present>

I just tried that, and it does NOT work.
Thanks

I have made sure that my object was being saved.
I successfully retrieved it inside another Action
that my application executed.

Is there anything wrong with my .jsp page?

Thanks

Please help.

CODE] <logic: present name="user" scope="session">This attribute is here.</logic: present>[ [/CODE]

It does work. I did not see the change from 'parameter' to 'name'.
A million thanks.

How does the code (the one inside logic tag) look like after processing (from the browser)?

Have you make sure you included the struts logic tag library?

Also, what kind of object is user? Are you trying to retrieve the property correctly?
