I'm not really sure of your design, but a JSP is a Servlet itself, so
unless they are processing the same request, then they don't really
communicate with eachother. the request attributes are only set for
one request (in otherword, one page load from the client).

First: it is a very unusual setup. Passing parameters from
servlet to JSP are way more common.

Second: it will only work using the request object if the
JSP page forward to the servlet.

All other usages would require usage of session instead of request.

Instead of passing parameters, try using
request.getsession().setAttribute().

This would put the values in the session
for further processing.

if you still want the request to hold it, then you
would have to do a forward(), with the same request
object.
