BBjspWebRequest::setAttribute

Description

In BBj 16.0 and higher, this method stores an attribute in this BBjspWebRequest. Attributes are reset between requests. This method is most often used in conjunction with BBjspWebResponse::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 BBjspWebRequest::removeAttribute(String).

Syntax

Example

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP web-page

<html>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello from BBJSP</h1>
        Foo:<%= str(#getRequest().getAttribute("foo")) %>
    </body>
</html>

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP servlet

class public FooServlet

  field private BBjspWebRequest request!
  field private BBjspWebResponse response!
  field private BBjspWebSession session!

  method public void service(BBjspServletContext context!)

    #request! = context!.getRequest()
    #response! = context!.getResponse()

    #response! = context!.getResponse()

    #request!.setAttribute("foo","'foo' was set in FooServlet")

    #response!.sendRedirect("/path/to/another/page.bbjsp")
