Having trouble getting my AttachmentServlet.java and FilterServelt.java to compile

the following is the code (for which the error applies) then the error for each.

AttachmentServlet.java

HttpSession session = request.getSession();
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
int msgNum = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("message"));
int partNum = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("part"));
MailUserBean mailuser = (MailUserBean)session.getAttribute("mailuser");

cannot find symbol
symbol : method getAttribute(java.lang.String)
location: interface javax.servlet.http.HttpSession

inconvertible types
found : javax.servlet.http.HttpSession.getAttribute
required: demo.MailUserBean


FilterServlet.java

HttpSession session = request.getSession();
MailUserBean mailuser = (MailUserBean)session.getAttribute("mailuser");
String servletPath = request.getServletPath();
servletPath = servletPath.concat(".jsp");

cannot find symbol
symbol : method getAttribute(java.lang.String)
location: interface javax.servlet.http.HttpSession

inconvertible types
found : javax.servlet.http.HttpSession.getAttribute
required: demo.MailUserBean

there is no such thing as javax.servlet.http.HttpSession.getAttribute()

I think that you are using different version of MailUserBean.

According to me - try this :

HttpSession session = request.getSession();

MailUserBean nameBean =
      (MailUserBean)session.getAttribute("nameBean");

    if (nameBean == null) {
      ...Your steps //String firstName = request.getParameter("firstName");
      //String lastName = request.getParameter("lastName");
      //nameBean = new MailUserBean(firstName, lastName);
      session.setAttribute("nameBean", nameBean);
    }

Do let me know, if it works. If it does not do send the complete code.

Thanks

Okay got past the last problem, but now it is showing the following error, but I'm not sure where exactly it wants me to add the -extension

[WARNING] Ignoring SOAP port "LicenseServiceSoap12": it uses non-standard SOAP 1.2 binding.
You must specify the "-extension" option to use this binding.
line 248 of file:/C:/softwaresource/unchanged/GTDev/GlobalTraderUtils/xml-resources/web-service-references/LicenseService.asmx/wsdl/software.globaltradertech.com/LicenseService.asmx.wsdl

Any ideas.

Hi,
the missing -extension switch in J2SE project is a known bug in NB5.5.1 which will be fixed soon in a hotfix update.

Yes, good call, 5.5 compiled it fine.

thanks
