Passing data from jsp to jsp

[Martin Baldwin]

I have an application where a form jsp page is called by and passes data to a servlet. However, I now want to add on additional forms where users can click a Next button to take them to a new page with a new form and at the end of the forms, click Submit and have all of the data passed back to a single servlet. Should I be passing the data from jsp to jsp or submitting back to the servlet with each click of the Next button? Thanks.

WHy not aggregate the data in the session?

Like this?
<form action="newform.jsp" method="post">

pageContext.setAttribute("variable", request.getParameter("variable"));

Saving it in page context will not persist it across multiple requests; that's what the session is for. You can obtain the session reference from the request.

use session is the best way, but you should konw othere way by request,
values are passed page A to page B by request, so page B can get values by request.getParameters("xx")

maybe it can help you。
