BBjHttpRequest::setAttribute (Deprecated)

BBjHttpRequest::setAttribute is deprecated for BBj 21.00 and higher, and has been replaced by BBxServletRequest::setAttribute.

Description

In BBj 15.00 and higher, this method stores an attribute in this request. Attributes are reset between requests. This method is most often used in conjunction with BBjHttpResponse::sendRedirect.

Attribute names should follow the same conventions as package names. If the object passed in is null(), the effect is the same as calling BBjHttpRequest::removeAttribute(String).

Syntax

Return Value	Method
void	setAttribute(string name, Object value)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
name	A String specifying the name of the attribute.
value	The Object to be stored.

Return Value

None.

Remarks

None.
