Access Servlet Session Attribute Using JSTL

Posted by tech on June 23, 2009

In Java this piece of code, request.getSession().getAttribute(“my_var”) can be accessed using JSTL with the sessionScope keyword. To access my_var, call sessionScope.myvar.

Remember to use sessionScope because if your Java code looks like this: request.getAttribute(“my_var”) will not work. See sample JSTL code below.

<c:out value="${sessionScope.my_var}"/>
