Hi everyone, 

I am new to building web applications with JSP/JBoss and am having some problems with 
the JSP "session" object that I wonder if anyone can help with. On my application 
login page I use the following call to set a UserName attribute on the session object: 

session.setAttribute("UserName", <username from login form>); 

I want to be able to use this attribute on subsequent pages to display a welcome 
message to the user. So I expected to be able to get this information by calling: 

session.getAttribute("UserName"); 

The problem is that this method call returns null instead of the value i'm expecting. 
Digging a bit deeper using the likes of "session.isNew()" and "session.getId()" shows 
that a new session is being created for pages subsequent to the login page. Seems like 
I need to somehow group the pages together but i'm not sure how to do this.... 

any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated... 

Thanks, 
Darren
