The sendRedirect() method signature you show above doesn't exist in
the API; it's sendRedirect(String newLocation). A redirect asks the
browser to make a new request using the new location (URL). You
can use a regular query string to pass on parameters to the new URL:
sendRedirect("myServlet?foo=bar");
But you may actually want to use a forward instead of a redirect here.
A forward is an internal server call, so it's faster. In a JSP page
you can forward to a servlet and add new parameters like this:
<jsp:forward page="myServlet">
<jsp:param name="foo" value="bar" />
</jsp:forward>
