You won't be able to re-compose the request object as if it was just
submitted. The quickest, dirtiest way is to just stow the form params
in the session upfront and then use them from the session later.
Example:
<c:if test="${not empty param.mySubmitBtn}">
<c:set var="mySessProp" scope="session" value="${param.myFormField}" />
<c:set var="mySessProp2" scope="session" value="${param.myFormField2}" />
<!-- Keep going though all the form fields you want to save. -->
</c:if>
<p>Your request for ${SessProp} follows:</p>
