Sorry, not entirely sure what you meant.

I have copied your code and placed it in my servlet as follows:

    HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
    String username = ( request.getParameter("username") != null ?
    request.getParameter("username") : "" ) ;
    session.setAttribute("usr", username);


my jsp now looks like this:

String username = ( request.getParameter("usr") != null ?
request.getParameter("usr") : "" ) ;
session.setAttribute("usr", username);

String usr = (String)session.getAttribute("usr");

Could you please tell me if this is what you meant?

> session.setAttribute("usr", username);
