    Default object in session

    Hi everybody, I have one elementary question. Can I save object into session and take it out in other servlet page? (specifically HttpServletRequest object) In one servlet file (file that works with the original request) I have following code:
    Java Code: 
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
    HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
    
    session.setAttribute("request", request);
    response.sendRedirect("/another-page");
}
    and in second file I have this:
    Java Code: 
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
    if (!session.isNew() && (HttpServletRequest)session.getAttribute("request") != null) {
        HttpServletRequest originalRequest;
        originalRequest = (HttpServletRequest)session.getAttribute("request");

        String itemOfOriginalRequest = originalRequest.getParameter("itemOfOriginalRequest");
        // do something with itemOfOriginalRequest
    }
}
    Can you give me an example please? thnx

    Yes, the session is shared by all the objects in the Web application context. Look at the session object API, it should have getters and setters.

    I'm little bit desperate... I've read manual of Interface HttpSession Interface HttpSession, tried to follow it and it is not functional. Here is my code. You can run it :-(.
    servlet for index page:
    Java Code: 
    import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class IndexPage extends HttpServlet {
    public final String DOCTYPE = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n" + "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\"\n\t\t\t" + "\"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">\n\n";

    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) 
           throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
        response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

        HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);

        String html = DOCTYPE + "<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xml:lang=\"en\">\n";
        html += "<head>\n";
        html += "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=UTF-8\" />\n";
        html += "<meta http-equiv=\"content-Style-Type\" content=\"text/css\" />\n";
        html += "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Language\" content=\"en\" />\n";
        html += "</head>\n";
        
        html += "<body>\n";

        if (!session.isNew() && session.getAttribute("originalRequest") != null) {
            HttpServletRequest originalRequest;
            originalRequest = (HttpServletRequest)session.getAttribute("originalRequest");

            String item = originalRequest.getParameter("item");
            if (item != null && !item.isEmpty()) {
                html += "<div>" + item + "</div>\n";

                session.removeAttribute("originalRequest");
            }
        }

        html += "<form action=\"formProcess\" method=\"post\">\n";
            html += "<input type=\"text\" name=\"item\" />&nbsp;\n";
            html += "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" />\n";
        html += "</form>\n";

        html += "</body>\n";
        html += "</html>";

        out.println(html);
    }
}
    servlet for form process:
    Java Code: 
    import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class IndexPage extends HttpServlet {
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) 
           throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
        response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

        HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);

        String item = request.getParameter("item");
        if (item.isEmpty()) {
            session.setAttribute("originalRequest", request);
            response.sendRedirect("/test");
        } else {
            String html = DOCTYPE + "<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xml:lang=\"en\">\n";
            html += "<head>\n";
            html += "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=UTF-8\" />\n";
            html += "<meta http-equiv=\"content-Style-Type\" content=\"text/css\" />\n";
            html += "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Language\" content=\"en\" />\n";
            html += "</head>\n";
        
            html += "<body>\n";
                html += "<div>" + item + "</div>\n";
            html += "</body>\n";
            html += "</html>";

            out.println(html);
        }
    }
}
    I hope, there are no errors (I copied it by rewritting, because I simplified my original code).
    (Btw you must make test.war)

    Er... I don't know, servletConfig object is in method init as parameter, isn't it? I don't understand your question, I'm sorry :-[... but I solve my problem in different way. I save object HashMap<String, String> in session and everything is ok :-)
