Question

I am passing data to my servlet through the jsp in this way:

<a href="DetyraServlet?action=listDetyra&firstName=<c:out value="${user.firstName}"/>">Something</a>  

So I am passing the firstName parameter from my bean class (if I am correct). Now I want to pass the firstName through the session.getAttribute(“username”);
So I want to do something like this:

<%  
    String user = (String) session.getAttribute("user");  
%>  

and then

<a href="DetyraServlet?action=listDetyra&firstName="<%=user%>">Something</a>  

But I am getting errors when I try this. Can anyone please tell me what is my bad?

Answer 1

use this,

<a href="DetyraServlet?action=listDetyra&firstName=<%=user%>">Something</a>

removed the extra ” (double quote)

As mentioned by a comment, you need not pass a session variable to your own servlet(same server). You can do the session.getAttribute in servlet code itself.
