I think there is way to pass additional parameters to servlet #2 using the
forward/include.
As per the specs 2.3PFD2 section SRV.8.1.1

The ServletContext and ServletRequest methods that create RequestDispatcher
objets using path information allow the optional attachment of query string
information to the path. For example, a Developer may obtain a RequestDispatcher by
using the following code:
String path = �/raisons.jsp?orderno=5�;
RequestDispatcher rd = context.getRequestDispatcher(path);
rd.include(request, response);
Parameters specified in the query string used to create the requestDispatcher take
precedence over other parameters of the same name passed to the included servlet. The
parameters associated with a RequestDispatcher are scoped to apply only for the
duration of the include or forward call.

As far as the request is GET/POST is concerned, there is no difference in the way the
parameters are obtained. So I think this should work even for POST requests.
