How to set a value in JSP session using javascript?

Question

Is it possible to set/assign value in session using java script?

Basically, I have few links on my JSP page and on click of those links, I need to set a variable in session.

session is server side concept, while javascript plays on browser

You can either use ajax on click of those link make a request to server and pass the info. and set it to session @ server

Or

If those links on whichuser is going to click is your server's then pass some param with it. and track it at server

The easiest approach is to use a hidden input element bound to a bean property in session scope, and put a JavaScript onclick handler in a commandlink that sets the hidden element's value before submitting the page.

OP didn't mention anywhere that he is using JSF, so a JSF targeted answer might be confusing to him.
