Retreive HttpSession in Filter

Hi,

For an access contol filter, i want to set a session attribute in the dofilter method of the filter.

To acces the session, i cast the servletRequest to httpServletRequest, and pass it to the filter chain.

But when i get the attribute from the request object of the taget, the attribute is always null.

Is the cast Wrong ?

How can i reteive the sesion and set attribute session in a filter ?

Thanks ...
