Using HttpSession

Question

Hi! I need to store sessiondata between a portlet and a regular jsp file (the jsp file is called from a portlet). As I see it it's not possible to use ProviderSession in a regular jsp file. So I've tried to create a HttpSession object. However, the jsp file always creates a "new" HttpSession, hence I can't pick up the stored sessiondata the portlet created. Is there other ways to do this? Maybe provided with a small example? Of course, the portlet and the jsp is on the same OC4J instance.

Hy,
My Source:
PortletRenderRequest prr = (PortletRenderRequest) request.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
String actionLink = HttpPortletRendererUtil.htmlFormActionLink(request, PortletRendererUtil.PAGE_LINK);
String linkBack = prr.getParameter("_page_url");
String eventSubmit = EventUtils.eventName("submit");
String hiddenFields = HttpPortletRendererUtil.htmlFormHiddenFields(request, PortletRendererUtil.PAGE_LINK);
if ( prr.getUser().isLoggedOn() )
//user is logged on, so get session
ProviderSession providerSession = prr.getUser().getSession(true);
this.SessionId = providerSession.getId();
out.println("User is logged in!!!<br>");
else
out.println("User is NOT logged in!!!<br>");
//user not logged on, so session will be null
if (prr.getParameter(eventSubmit) == null)
String Object = "success";
//prr.getUser().getSession().setAttribute("NameOfObject",Object);
out.println("<form method=\"POST\" action=\"" + actionLink + "\">");
out.println(hiddenFields);
out.println("<input type=\"Submit\" name=\"" + eventSubmit + "\" value=\"OK\">");
out.println("</form>");
out.println("<br> SessionId=" + this.SessionId);
} else {
//String temp = (String) prr.getUser().getSession().getAttribute("NameofObject");
out.println("<br> SessionId=" + this.SessionId);
//out.println("<br> Attribut=" + temp);
out.println("<br> <a href=\"" + linkBack + "\">zurück</a>");
No own provider-instance...
Thanks again...
