You can set the value in a hidden input and get it in the next JSP using request.getParameter("inputName");
It's cleaner that way as you can submit the form using the post method.

You need to put that on a form on the JSP that is submitting the page. Do you have a form on the page?

Ok. How are you going from JSP one to JSP2. Are you clicking a submit button on a form or are you using an href link?

You can use something like
[HTML]

<FORM method="post" action="<%=jsp2Path%>" name="formName" >

<a href="javascript:document.forms['formName'].submit()" ....

<INPUT type="hidden" name="value" value="<%=value %>">
</FORM>
[/HTML]
