how to use user name as a session variable in jsp

how to store a user name as a session variable through out the session of that user so that i can use taht user name temporarily in that session????:(

you write the code so that we can give suggestion.

session.setAttribute()?

I assume your getting the user name from a form. Here's a sample code.

Code:

---

<%
  //username here is the name of the text field which you will get the username from
  String name = request.getParameter("username");
  //sessionName is the variable name you assign to the session variable
  session.setAttribute("sessionName", name);
%>

---

You can call the variable using:

Code:

---

<%= session.getAttribute("sessionName") %>

---

Well, yes...if you're using a JSP to do your work for you...which you shouldn't be doing.
