How to set a parameter in a HttpServletRequest?

From your question, I think what you are trying to do is to store something (an object, a string...) to foward it then to another servlet, using RequestDispatcher(). To do this you don't need to set a paramater but an attribute using

void setAttribute(String name, Object o);

and then

Object getAttribute(String name);
