Answer 1

You need to set request attribute

In your servlet1.

request.setAttribute("attributeName",yourStringVAlue);
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("yourServletPattern");
rd.forward(request,response);

In your Servlet2

String someName = (String)request.getAttribute("attributeName");

Answer 2

In Servlet 1 :

request.setAttribute("myAwesomeAttributeName",myAwesomeAttributeValue);

then recieve it in servlet 2 by

request.getAttribute("myAwesomeAttributeName");
