HI Zinger:
answer to this question depends on env conditions
setAttribute method stores the attribute in JVM itself for every session,
while set parameter will pass the attribute as a header information to you
new jsp.
So it all depends on memory available, cpu speed, and no of pages you are
going to use this technique.
Cheers
