How do I pass a variable from one form to the next in JSP

[Maria Modeste]

How do I pass one variable from one form to the next in JSP when it is NOT being passed in a form tag? There is no submit button

I know how to use the request.getParameter(variableName) and then do an
<input type = “hidden” name = “variableName”>

But this only works in a form tag. How else can I pass a variable?

I can think of one solution using javascript, where you build the url for the JSP
with name/value pairs like:

<url to jsp>?name1=value1&name2=value2 (etc.)

If you do not want messy code. You can simply use session variables to pass some information from one page to other.

Thanks both of you. I got it to work with the name value pair in jsp.
