How to retrieve sessions variables in JSP

hi,
I am trying to retrieve session variable from servlet to JSP.
In the servlet i am retrieving employeenames from database and storing them in a ArrayList variable then i am setting this variable into the session.
When retrieving the session in the jsp it displays as [empname1, empname2].
Please help how to retrieve them
Thanks in Advance,

ArrayList<String> employeeNames = new ArrayList<String>();
employeenames.add(blahBlahblah);
session.setAttribute("eNames", employeeNames);
At the JSP:
ArrayList<String> names = (ArrayList<String>) session.getAttribute("eNames");
for (String nom : names) {

  • How to pass session variable value with GO URL to override session value

    Hi Gurus,
    We have below requirement.Please help us at the earliest.
    How to pass session variable value with GO URL to override session value. ( It is not working after making changes to authentication xml file session init block creation as explained by oracle (Bug No14372679 : which they claim it is fixed in 1.7 version  Ref No :Bug 14372679 : REQUEST VARIABLE NOT OVERRIDING SESSION VARIABLE RUNNING THRU A GO URL )
    Please provide step by step solution.No vague answers.
    I followed below steps mentioned.
    RPD:
    ****-> Created a session variable called STATUS
    -> Create Session Init block called Init_Status with SQL
        select 'ACTIVE' from dual;
    -> Assigned the session variable STATUS to Init block Init_Status
    authenticationschemas.xml:
    Added
    <RequestVariable source="url" type="informational"
    nameInSource="RE_CODE" biVariableName="NQ_SESSION.STATUS"/>
    Report
    Edit column "Contract Status" and added session variable as

    When  I run the URL above with parameter EXPIRED, the report still shows for  ACTIVE only. The URL is not making any difference with report.
    Report is picking the default value from RPD session variable init query.

    hi rachna,
    JSP has a default(implicit) session object...... use the getSession(true) method on the session object and then going u can either get or set attributes depending on the requirement
    That was in general and now with the issue u have got..... what u can do is that the u can create session for every user who logs in and when he/she tries to login again then u can probably check for the existing session object in the JSP and perform the logic as required..... any clarifications plzzzzzzz let me know
    Thanks n Regards

  • How to retrieve resource name in JSP page

    Hello,
    I have the following scenario:
    User wants a new resource to be provisioned to himself, he makes standard steps; chooses one resource from the list of available resources and sends a request. After that a summary page is displayed - my goal is to create an url to external application on that summary page (i.e. tjspRequestSubmitTiles.jsp) that should be displayed depending on the name of the resource, e.g. if user requests for a ResourceA - link appears, but when he requests for a ResourceB - link does not appear.
    So far I have created a link with a sample if statement - it works.
    My problem is how to make a real condition - retrieve the resource name that request deals with. Anybody know how to do that, which API to use etc.?
    Regards,
    Maciej.

    After adding the code to tjspProvideDataShowInfoTiles.jsp file, nothing has been improved, I am still facing the same result (on the console):
    RO: null
    It seems that file (tjspProvideDataShowInfoTiles.jsp) does not take part in the process.
    I have tried to pass some sample session attribute in tjspRequestVerificationTiles.jsp and this works, but I do not know how to retrieve resourceName in this file.
    I was trying to make some code retrieving resourceName in tjspRequestSubmitTiles.jsp, e.g.
    tcRequestWizardForm tcReqWizForm = (tcRequestWizardForm)session.getAttribute(requestWizardForm);
    String requestID = tcreqWizForm.getRequestID();
    ...and what to do now to retrieve resourceName?

  • Problem accessing session variable from jsp

    Hi!
    I get an error retrieving a session variable from inside a JSP declaration scriptlet....
    Something like this code in a JSP page:
    <%!
    public void funtion1() {
    String parameter1 = session.getAttribute("parameter1");
    %>I have seen that I have available getContextServer() method and from there I could call getAttribute("parameter1") . But the thing is that the attribute I want to retrieve was stored in session by another Jsp page.
    Any solutions are welcome
    Cheers
    Victor

    Appropriately the above is one the reasons also You cannot use JSP implicit objects from the declaration tag. However we can think of a small workaround by passing the reference like the one discussed below
    <%!public void funtion1(HttpSession session) {
    String parameter1 = session.getAttribute("parameter1").toString();
    }%>
    <% funtion1(session);%>Hope that helps :)

  • How to store session variables in drop down menu (and radiobutton/checkbox)

    How am I going to store session variables in the drop down menu, radio button, checkbox.
    In text area, I do like below:
    <input type="text" name="membershipno" size="5" maxlength="50" value="<%=((session.getValue("Smembershipno")!=null)?session.getValue("Smembershipno"):"") %>">
    Any idea?

    Hi jeffkyt79, I could have answered this on Expert's Exchange. But I suppose it would be hard as the site is down right now :-(
    Here is sample code for the form:
    <form action="" name="form1">
    <input type="text" name="field1" value="<%
    if (session.getAttribute("field1")!=null) {
    out.println(session.getAttribute("field1"));
    } %>"><br>
    <input type="text" name="field2" value="<%
    if (session.getAttribute("field2")!=null) {
    out.println(session.getAttribute("field2"));
    } %>"><br>
    <input type="text" name="field3" value="<%
    if (session.getAttribute("field3")!=null) {
    out.println(session.getAttribute("field3"));
    } %>"><br>
    <input type="checkbox" name="check1" value="tick"<% if (session.getAttribute("check1")!=null) out.println(" checked"); %>><br>
    <% String selRadio=(session.getAttribute("r1")!=null)?(String)session.getAttribute("r1"):""; %>
    <input type="radio" name="r1" value="yesdot"<% if (selRadio.equals("yesdot")) {out.println(" checked");} %>>
    <input type="radio" name="r1" value="nodot"<% if (selRadio.equals("nodot")) {out.println(" checked");} %>><br>
    <select name="sel">
    <% String selOption=(session.getAttribute("sel")!=null)?(String)session.getAttribute("sel"):""; %>
    <option value="option1"<% if (selOption.equals("option1")) {out.println(" selected");} %>>OPTION 1
    <option value="option2"<% if (selOption.equals("option2")) {out.println(" selected");} %>>OPTION 2
         <option value="option3"<% if (selOption.equals("option3")) {out.println(" selected");} %>>OPTION 3
    </select>
    </form>
    And here's the revised javascript function to put in form1.jsp:
    function newWin() {
    f=document.form1.elements;
    str="?";
    mypage="test2.jsp"; // I've hardcoded the url for testing but you can fix this
    for (i=0;i<f.length;i++) {
    if (f.type=="text") {
    if (f[i].value!="") {
    str=str+f[i].name+"="+f[i].value+"&";
              continue;
         if (f[i].type=="checkbox"||f[i].type=="radio") {
         if (f[i].checked) {
         str=str+f[i].name+"="+f[i].value+"&";
         if (f[i].type=="select-one") {
         str=str+f[i].name+"="+f[i].options[f[i].selectedIndex].value+"&";
    str=str.substr(0,str.length-1);
    // now open the popup
    mypage+=str;
    win=window.open(mypage, 'myname'); // I've left out the winprops but you can fix this
    If you can ask any more questions, could you do it on EE (if possible!!). I know this works because I've tested it.

  • How to pass javascript variable to jsp function

    i want to check which table header (that is <th> in html )is clicked and based on that a jsp funtion do a query in database and should show records in sorted way according to which column head is clicked.
    Table is created in html.
    My function is
    Vector varray = workcaseid.getWorkcaseId(Long.parseLong(MasterAccountNumber),SelectedColumn);
    <table border="1">
