send value using response.sendRedirect()

[Oswald King]

I have a A.jsp page with some text fields whose values are required to insert in database.
In "A.jsp" action="B.jsp" after inserting the values in B.jsp i want send boolean value back to A.jsp

for e.g.
B.jsp::
boolean bFlag = insertToDB(some args...);
response.sendRedirect("A.jsp?flag=bFlag");

I know this sends back only the string "bFlag". so what can i do ??

use

request.setAttribute("something","boolean_value");
request.getRequestDispatcher(url).forward(request,response);
