two simple questions

[alsoumhi]

Hi experts, I have two questions, please help me because I am trying
to create an application and I stopped because of these

1) how to read data in servlet from a web page for select menue
I have used [request.getParameter("?????")] but I don't know which name I put inside getParameter

2)I have two servlets, one servlet read from web page and another servlet from another web page , my question is how to let the second servlet gets the information(data) that the first servlet has read

i have tried to create an object of first servlet in the second servlet in order to make call of methods of the first servlet that contain data but I got this error:

The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Thank you very much in advance

1) You will use id or name attribute of data field from which you want to retrieve data
2) Sessions

For example on use of both of them have look at this post
