I am just starting out with Java, and I have been fairyl sucessful with creating some basic JSP's.

I am attempting to convert a VB project into a Web application...

I have a question though, that I have been unable to find a clear cut answer to...and that is, how can I declare Global variables within a JSP that can be called from other JSP's...

or am I going about the theory all wrong...For example when I have the user select a month & year on a JSP, and then they click on a Submit button, this should take them to the next JSP, which will need to have the values of the month year to use within a SQL statement...

I hope that I am clear, and I hope that someone can give me some helpful pointers...

Thank you!
