No worries. I added the following to doPost in my servlet:

    HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
    String username = request.getParameter("username");
    if ( username == null ) username = "noParameter";
    if ( "".equals( username ) ) username = "noParameter";
    System.out.println(username);
    session.setAttribute("usr", username);

I added the following to my JSP:

String username = ( request.getParameter("usr"));
out.println("username >>" + username);
String usr = (String)session.getAttribute("usr");
out.println("usr >>" + usr);


I should added that my JSP is a frameset with 2 frames. That could be the
problem!!!
