I think you can use

setAttribute(objectKey,"Identifier")

on the request object if you are passing the request and response through a forward or 
include.

Or you can pass an Identifier as a hidden field on a form or on the URL.

Hope this helps,
Abraham

Subject:        Capturing forwarded from information

I'm trying to capture the name of the page that forwards to a new page.

My specific situation is that I have three pages: A, B, C. Normally A
has a link to C:

A -> C

Sometimes if a condition is not met (insufficient user information), C
forwards to B:

A -> C -forward-> B.

What I would like to do is let B know the name of C, so that after the
user information is gathered, B can send the user back to C.

A -> C -forward-> B -(for processing input)-> B -forward-> C

Which will look to the user like:

A -> B -> C

I can't figure out how B can get the name of C.

I've actually worked a pretty ugly hack for a specific case, but would
like to know how to do this in a general case.

Thank You,
Carles
