httpsession

[Andrew Lit]

hi,
i thought that this servlet should show current time at first and later it should show last session's time and the current time, but all i get is current time. What is wrong with this code?
html:

  
<form name="form1"
 action="http://localhost:8080/dateservlet">
 <input type=textbox name ="data" size="34" value="">
 <input type=submit value="Get cookie">
</form>

servlet

  
public class DateServlet extends HttpServlet {
  private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html";
  //Initialize global variables
  public void init() throws ServletException {
  }
  //Process the HTTP Get request
  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    HttpSession hs = request.getSession(true);
    response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    Date date = (Date)hs.getAttribute("data");
    if(date != null){
      out.print("Last access: "+date+ "<br>");
    }
    date = new Date();
    hs.setAttribute("date", date);
    out.println("Current date: " + date);
  }
  //Clean up resources
  public void destroy() {
  }
}

thank you in advance

I don't understand what you are trying to do in this code. Why don't you try using getLastAccessedTime() or getCreationTime() to get the time stamps from HttpSession object.
