i think the reason you lose your request attributes is because the action servlet
performs a HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect instead of a RequestDispatcher.forward when
you have redirect="true" in your action mapping. thus, unless you add values to the
end of the querystring as you're doing, you don't have the ability to add values to the
request as one or more java object(s). do you have any idea why iplant chokes or what
kind of error it gives you? if it's a servlet 2.2+ compliant container it should be
able to perform a forward without problem.
