I'm not sure why the servlet might be "stalling", but I do have a question --
why would you be trying to use the session ID itself as a key to store things
with?
Think of session management as having a private Hashtable per session (such
as, per logged-in user). This lets you use keys that are human
understandable, but still be separate per user. I would tend to code your
example line above like this:
session.putValue("USERNAME", username);
so that this value can be retrieved (later in the same servlet, or in another
servlet accessed within the same session) like this:
String username = (String) session.getValue("USERNAME");
You can use any key you want, with any object type, just like you can with a
Hashtable.
