If I forward or include a servlet B from servlet A,
req.getRequestDispatcher(forwardTo).forward(req, res);
req.getRequestDispatcher(includeIn).include(req, res);
besides forward the req (request) varible by user, can I forward a local/global variable declared inside Servlet A? (eg String a=test; can I forward this 'a' variable to another servlet by forward or include) ? Thanks

Set the variable as an attribute to the request.
request.setAttribute("myVar", localVar);
