Example: Request attributes and session attributes

Learn how to construct a profiler in HCL WebSphere Portal using request attributes and session attributes.

Request values passed to the JSP or stored in the HTTP session can be referred to from rules. To refer to them in a rule, we must know the variables and their possible values.
