If you are still having problems...I have the following example that might of interest to you.

I have two files...first one is index.jsp and the second is setlang.jsp

index

Code:

<%@ page session="true" %>
<%
    if( null == session.getValue( "lang" ) ) {
%>
    Please Select a language <a href="setlang.jsp?lang=fr">french</a> | <a href="setlang.jsp?lang=eng">english</a> <br/>
<%
    } else {
        
        if ("fr".equals( session.getValue("lang" ) ) ){
            out.println( "You're viewing this page in <b>French</b>, Change to " + "<a href=\"setlang.jsp?lang=eng\">English</a> <br/>" );
        } else {
            out.println( "You're viewing this page in <b>English</b>, Change to " + "<a href=\"setlang.jsp?lang=fr\">French</a> <br/>" );
        } //-- ends inner else
    } //-- ends else block
%>

setlang

Code:

<%@ page session="true" %>
<%
// your default language.
String default_language = "fr";

if( "eng".equals( request.getParameter( "lang" ) ) || "fr".equals( request.getParameter( "lang" ) ) ) {
    // if lang is equal to fr (french) or equal to en (english)...select the language
    // and redirect 
    session.putValue( "lang", request.getParameter( "lang" ) );
    // now we need to do a redirect
    // note: I am redirecting to project context.
    response.sendRedirect( request.getContextPath() );
} else {
    // use the default language in this case.
    session.putValue( "lang", default_language );
} //-- ends else block
%>
