share session object between servlet and jsp

[sameerk]

hi,

i want to send session object from jsp page to servlet class without defining doGet() or doPost method.

how to do it?

[Iman Reihanian]

you can set this object in session as a session variable and you can get it from session in servlet class.
like this:

<%= session.setAttribute( "theName" ) %>

and get it servet class:

 HttpSession session = request.getSession(true)
session.getValue(java.lang.String name)

You go from Servlets to JSPs, not the other way around.
A JSP should be the end point of your processing.

but how could i get the request object without doget and dopost method ?

Why are you trying to go from a JSP page to a Servlet?
WHat are you trying to do?
Because from what I am reading here you are doing something wrong.

actually i m using struts 2
i have set one attribute in the session on jsp page and i want that session attribute into the servlet class.

?
Struts uses Actions, which are (sort of) servlets.
You don't go from a JSP in Struts to an Action (or servlet).

If you have added something to the session in a JSP it will be visible in the Action the next time it's called from the same session.
