    I'm supposed to do this servlet where I display a number of html links. When the user clicks on a link, they go to a page where the servlet runs it's doGet method. Every link leads to the same page so I need to find a way of sending some info with the request. None of the books in the library seem to give good examples and I've just spent 4 hours looking for an example online. Anybody done this before?

    You need to pass parameters to the servlet from the URL in the link.
    like this ....site.com/servlet.jsp?page=page1
    ....site.com/serlvet.jsp?page=page2

    Then in your doGet method you can pic them up from the request like so:
    String page = request.getParameter("page");

    Is this what you mean?
