I am writing a servlet which verifies the username and password before it connects a user to a database. I want to start a session as soon as i have finished the verification. I have created a HttpSession object and used the putAttribute method to append the username and password.

anything u put in session is available until your session is terminated (i.e. the browser is closed or session is invalidated)

u can put in session as follows...

HttpSession obj= req.getSession(true);
obj.putValue("usename","ABC");
obj.putValue("password","XYZ");

Now u have put the data in session in say "ServletA", this data can be "get" in any of the subsequent servlets or jsp as follows,

HttpSession obj= req.getSession(true);
String strUserName=(String)obj.getValue("usename");
String strPassword=(String)obj.getValue("password");

Hope this helps...
