Pass HTTP Request object between JSP Pages?

[wayneh]

I have a servlet which returns a bunch of html code to a jsp page.

I have since needed to modify the receiving page so that it uses frames.

I'd like to know how I can pass the Request object from the main page (Frameset) to the final page.

For example:
The servlet does this after creating the message string <msg>:

request.setAttribute("wmessage",msg);
RequestDispatcher dispatcher=getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("results.jsp");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);

My current "results" page uses this code to get the
request:

<table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" align="left" width="100%">
    <%=request.getAttribute("wmessage")%>
</table>

The results.jsp page is now within a frame, and the Frameset Page is called by the servlet.
I tried this from the Frameset page:

<frame src="results.jsp?results=<%=request%>">

And this on the Results.jsp page:

<table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" align="left" width="100%">
    <%=request.getAttribute("wmessage")%>
</table>

All I ever get is 'null'.

How can I take the original HTTP Request and send it to the frame page, then retrieve the info I need from the request?

Thanks.

Well, if you give "results" as parameter, of course "wmessage" will be NULL...
