Thanks for the replies.

I don't want to use sendRedirect, because I would like to avoid a new
round trip to the client browser before the forward. That is why I'm
using the jsp:forward tag.
I believe that it has been discussed before in this list that added
parameters get stripped when the forward is called. I'll try this again
to make sure.

I tried this. The reference I get is to A, not C. In other words, it
shows the original referer, not the page that does the forward.
Thanks again, any other ideas?
