You are doing a very minor mistake. You have defined the currSession variable in p1.jsp and using it in p2.jsp. Obviously it will give variable not defined error since its not defined in p2.jsp. Remember p1.jsp and p2.jsp are two different files.
Whereas the session variable is a implicit object available in jsp for session object that is why it is working. Infact in jsp you should always use the session variable and don't define you own. -----Original Message----- From: Roland Dong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 6:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to create a session object other than "session" I am testing a session object so I created p1.jsp with the snippets: .... <% HttpSession currSession = request.getSession(true) currSession.setMaxInactiveInterval(3600); currSession.setAttribute("user", Name); currSession.setAttribute("id", ID); ....... %> In P2.jsp <% ..... currSession.invalidate(); %> ... %> However I got errors: Undefined variable or class name: currSession currSession.invalidate(); If I change the object name to 'session', then it is ok. Is session object supposed to last through the session? Am I missiing something? Do I have to use the object name 'session'? =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
