You cannot pass request attributes when using response.sendRedirect() because of
what actually happens -- the servlet container tells the browser to submit a
*second* request (not the same one as with RequestDispatcher.forward()) to the new
URL. If you are using response.sendRedirect(), the only reasonable way to save
information across requests is to store them in a user's session.
