Get session in JSP

Question

I have got a problem, would like to seek help. thanks in advance:P
HttpSession httpsession=request.getSession(true);
httpsession.setAttribute("user", getUser(userid));//getUser(userid) will return a user
User user=(User)httpsession.getAttribute("user");
i have set a session for a user in a class and i can get the user in the same class, but how can i get the user in JSP??
i have tried as follows:
<% HttpSession httpsession=request.getSession(true);
User user=(User)httpsession.getAttribute("user");
if (user.getRole().equals("user")){ %>
but when i compile the JSP, it said "User not found"
what wrong with the code??
it seems that can't call a bean

Hi,
You are using a custom 'User' class, so need to import it. Add this line at the top of the JSP page:
<%@ page import="pack.name.User" %>
// put the fully qualified User class name hereif you already have the <%@ page %> directive, just add the import attribute to it.
