"session" is one of the implicit objects (i.e. automatically available) in JSP.
The servlet generated from the JSP page contains code similar to what you
have, so you don't have to do this at all; just use "session" directly. Since
the generated code also uses the variable name "session" you get this
compilation error.
I suggest you read the JSP specification. It describes this plus a lot of
other things you need to know in order to develop JSP pages.
