How to access Tomcat session objects directly via JavaScript?

[leo]

Hi Folks

In a small scale personal project served by Tomcat I record things per 
logged-in user. The user is available as an attribute to Tomcat’s 
session objects. In the JSP pages I retrieve the session object *through 
Java* like this

    <%
        HttpSession session = request.getSession();
        ...
        user = (String)session.getAttribute("user");
        ...
    %>

Then later on these pages *in the JavaScript* part I have:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        var user = "<%=user%>"
        ...
    </script>

In the JavaScript part I then do something with the *JavaScript* 
variable `user`.

I now would like to move away from JSP to normal HTML pages (stills 
served by Tomcat with the session backend)

Question: Can I get the content of the session object in pure 
JavaScript? Can I somehow configure Tomcat to put the session info in 
some page headers or similar so that JavaScript can read it directly?

Thanks for any pointers,
Leo
