Hi Jonathan, About ServletRequest and ServletResponse Interfaces not having a "setParameter(name, value)" method...depending on your situation, you may not need to do that. Are you forwarding to another URI within your web app? If so, you could use request/session.setAttribute( String name, Object obj ). My understanding is that HttpParameters come from HTML forms and can't really be added to using the Servlet API. But if the web component you are forwarding to is within your same application, you can store those values you wish to add to the URL to the HttpServletRequest/HttpSession as "scoped attributes". Hope this helps.
