Hi Ron, We're actually talking about two different things... there are request PARAMETERS and request ATTRIBUTES. What you say is of course accurate, you can call setAttribute() on a request and forward it along and you'll have access to those attributes. But that is different from parameters. They are stored in two different collections, and are accessed with two different methods (getAttribute() as opposed to getParameter()).
Parameters can only be attached to a request by appending a query string to the URI being requested, or POSTing a form that includes them. The servlet spec, up to and including 2.4 apparently, does not provide a way to add parameters, only attributes.
