Pass information to another servlet/jspTag(s): Servlet/JSP
You set attributes on your request object and then forward the request object to the other servlet/jsp.
For a simple string
request.setAttribute("foo", "Real's HowTo");
A parameter received by the first servlet to the second one
String requestVar = request.getParameter("sitename"); request.setAttribute("foo", requestVar);
A Bean
MyBean myBean = new MyBean(); myBean.setFooProperty("Real's HowTo"); request.setAttribute("foo", myBean);
Then you forward the request
RequestDispatcher dispatch = request.getRequestDispatcher("next.jsp"); dispatch.forward(request, response);
