[FIXED] Passing parameter form jsp to servlet to jsp and then to another servlet

Issue

Is there a way to pass a parameter to a servlet going through another jsp and then to another servlet like jsp---parameter--->servlet(using getParameter())---parameter--->jsp---parameter--->servlet(is there a way to get the parameter here)

The program that am working on is to pass the username.

Solution

Looks like you want to use HTTPsession.

Provides a way to identify a user across more than one page request or visit to a Web site and to store information about that user. The servlet container uses this interface to create a session between an HTTP client and an HTTP server. The session persists for a specified time period, across more than one connection or page request from the user. A session usually corresponds to one user, who may visit a site many times. The server can maintain a session in many ways such as using cookies or rewriting URLs.

Setting

Session session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute("username", username);

getting it back

String username = (String)session.getAttribute("username");
