Passing multiple values from one page to another

I have the followin question, how will I pass multiple values from one jsp page to another? I have i piece of code here, which works fine, but it only sends one value from one page to another (year):

<form method="post" action="Display data.jsp" name="inputpage" >
<select name="year">
<option value="2010">2010</option>
<option value="2011">2011</option>
</select>

For example if I had another value, for example

String str = "value";

Is it possible to send it using form post method as well? I googled it, and the answer I found included loops and too much code, is there short and simple way of doing it? Many thanks!

You can send as many variable you want by Form Method.

For sending the value of String Str, assign its value to hidden field as:

<input type="hidden" id="hidden1" value=<c:out value="${variableName}" />

where variableName=str.

Could you use a hidden input inside your form to pass other data using the form post?

<input type='hidden' id='myExtraData' value='hello' />

When you submit the form all values of the form will be passed, they only need to be inside the form. You can read other values normally by using:

 request.getParameter(ParamName)
