I am not a servlet expert, but I would imagine that you need to have the link say something like this:
href="servler?someVariable=xyz"

using the request scope

You can't. Request scope is a server-side concept and the Javascript executing in the browser has no knowledge of, or access to it. You can pass info to a request via request parameters as Eric has shown.
