Session.getAttribute returning null

Question

i set the session attribute in one jsp file using session.setAttribute() and retrieve it in another using session.getAttribute..The return value for session.getAttribute is null,
I also tried using HTTP session,the result is same.
First jsp file
<%@ page import="database.DBFunctions" %>
<%@ page import="java.sql.ResultSet" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.PrintWriter" %>
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.HttpSession" %>
<%@ page import="read.Create" %>
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%
    PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();
    //HttpSession varSession = request.getSession();
    String uname = request.getParameter("UserName");
    String pword = request.getParameter("PassWord");
    DBFunctions func = new DBFunctions();
    int bool = func.validate(uname);
    if(bool==1){
        func.insertLogin(uname, pword);
        ResultSet rs = func.getUid(uname, pword);
        if(rs.next()){
            int userid = rs.getInt("uid");
            writer.println(userid);
            System.out.println("adduser"+userid);
            session.setAttribute("uid",userid);
            //varSession.setAttribute("uid", new Integer(userid));
            Create cnew = new Create();
            cnew.createUser(userid);
       writer.println(bool);
    else{
        writer.println(bool);

    PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();

i tried converting it into integer before setting it.. and retrieving in the form of Integer, the result remains the same.
AddUser.jsp(setting userid attribute of session here)

    //HttpSession varSession = request.getSession();
    String uname = request.getParameter("UserName");
    String pword = request.getParameter("PassWord");
    DBFunctions func = new DBFunctions();
    int bool = func.validate(uname);
    if(bool==1){
        func.insertLogin(uname, pword);
        ResultSet rs = func.getUid(uname, pword);
        if(rs.next()){
            int userid = rs.getInt("uid");
            //writer.println(userid);
            System.out.println("adduser"+userid);
            session.setAttribute("uid",new Integer(userid));
            //varSession.setAttribute("uid", new Integer(userid));
            Create cnew = new Create();
            cnew.createUser(userid);
            func.insertInActiveusers(userid, uname);
       writer.println(bool);
    else{
        writer.println(bool);
