Here is my Spring MVC Controller code:

session.setAttribute("YourProperty", "arg1");

How can I access an attribute stored in my HttpSession using JavaScript?

I have tried using this code: 

var property = <%=session.getAttribute("YourProperty")%>;
alert(property);

But it returns null.

Thanks

  • First of all you're being unsafe with the assignment to `property`. If it were a string the code would fail. The other thing is your set attribute *myProperty* on the session but you're getting *YourProperty* **which doesn't match**. – Bart Nov 22 '13 at 07:47

var property="<%=session.getAttribute("MyProperty")%>";
alert(property);

Attribute names should match and since you are adding a string, you should add " around <%=session.getAttribute("MyProperty")%>, and the code will alert arg1.
