Pass variables between jsp pages

[Diva]

can ane1 tell me how to pass variables between two jsp pages.
I have obtained the IP Address in the first page and want to save it to the MS Access table by clickin on a hyperlink which takes me to the nxt page.
The problem is how to pass the value of ip address to the nxt page. I have tried using this code:

<a href="SaveIPAddress.jsp"?ipAdd=<%= ipAddress %>>

but this line of code shows an error.
*ipAddress is the String variable in which the IP address is stored.
PLZ help me its URGENT!!!!

Your code should work. I don't see any issue with that. However you need a small change to make it working.

Code:

<a href="SaveIPAddress.jsp?ipAdd=<%= ipAddress %>">

For reusing the connection in different pages you may need to keep the connection in HttpSession or in servlet context.

For accessing a variable from different pages also you can keep it either in session or in context.
