I am not seeing a setParameter(string, object) method in HttpServletRequest, which is 
why thought setting it as an Attribute was the way to go...  maybe it's too early, or 
I am just having an elder moment... where's setParameter?

Parameters are appended to the end of a request.  They can only be
strings.
Attributes are stored in a ServletContext.  Attributes can be any kind
of object.

If you use setParameter to store, you must use getParameter to retrieve.
If you use setAttribute to store, you must use getAttribute to retrieve.

To see your attribute, enumerate the attributes.
