How to retrieve one servlet session attributes in another servlet

Question

I have two servlets in my project 2nd being called from the 1st servlet. Im creating http session in first servlet and setting some attributes to that session object. How do i get the values of these attributes in second servlet?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Object value = request.getSession().getAttribute("nameOfTheAttributeUsedInTheFirstServlet");

If two servlets are in the same webapp, they share the same session context, and the session is the same for both servlets. Of course, remember that a session is tight to a particular user.
