I have a small tricky to do it
- your 1.jsp save that parameter in session, ex: name it with
(String)param
- redirect to 2.jsp
- 2.jsp read param session
- 2.jsp contain html and form inside
<form action= method=post> ..<input type=hidden value=<%=param%>
</form>
- combine with javascript when the body onLoad document.form.submit
it is more secure than redirect an show parameter on its address
