I met the same problem. To read your query string in included or forwarded servlet,
you have to use the call:
String query = request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.include.query_string");

Hi !
I can't answer your exact question.
But for many purposes - other than reusing an existing servlet class
that you forward to -
request.setAttribute("name" , valueObject) ;
RequestDispatcher dest = context.getRequestDispatcher("...");
dest.forward(request,response);
will do.
