Problem accessing session variables - getAttribute returning null

[Kris Cheemal <kc...@yahoo.ca>]

Hi Guys,

   I am having a problem with accessing my session
varibles. I am using Tomcat 3.2.3 with JBoss. I have a
servlet heirarchy.

HttpServlet
      |_BasicServlet
	      |_ LoginResultServlet
	      |_ LoginRequiredServlet

I have a public Static fianl String USER_PROFILE =
"userprofile" defined in BasicServlet. 
As soon as I login, I am seeting it in
LoginResultServlet I retrieve the user profile, assign
it to a variable called "userProfile", and putting it
in the session using the method
request.getSession.setAttribute (userProfile,
USER_PROFILE). In LoginRequiredServet, I am using
request.getSession.getAttribute (USER_PROFILE) to
authenticate the user. The problem is that 
getAttribute(USER_PROFILE) is returning null. I did
not have this problem on 3.1. I am just wondering what
the problem is. Any ideas/solutions??

Thanks in advance,
Kris
