Passing Session info between servlets

Question

We are running WebLogic 5.1, sp 4 and Apache 1.3 on Solaris 2.6 and we are
          successfully proxying requests to the server. But we are unable to pass
          session information between servlets. We are NOT using URL encoding. We are
          instead using cookies. We believe our configuration is correct because the
          BEA example session servlet works. Does anyone have any recommendations or
          suggestions?
          Thank you,
          Jorge

Answer 1

This is a basic misunderstanding of how Java Works:
String name +r = request.getParameter(name +r);1) You can't use a + on the left part of an assignment operation - it must be a plain variable reference. This isn't like JavaScript where you have an eval(...) capability.
2) Your Strings are being defined inside the For Loop, which means they will leave scope once the loop ends and you won't be able to refer to them anymore.
3) Is there already a String value named 'name' which you are using in getParameters(name+r)? You should probably use getParameter("name"+r) instead.
What you want to do is either put the values in an array so they are easy to access:
String name[] = new String[value1];Then loop through the parameters to assign values:
for(int r = 0; r< value1; r++) { //Start at 0 to value1-1 because arrays are 0 based.
  String nameParam = "name"+ (r+1);
  name[r] = request.getParameter(nameParam);Now I can access the names in order:
name1 via name[0]
name2 via name[1]
name3 via name[2]
etc...Before going any further I would stop working on Servlets and go back to some good Basic Java Tutorials and books until you get a better grasp of how the language works.
