title: How to pass parameter to servlet
body: <p>How do I pass a parameter from a page's useBean in JSP to a servlet in Java? I have some data in a form that gets passed no problem with a submit button, but no way to send anything else. Please help? Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input name = "deleteGameButton" type = "submit" value = "Delete"
   onclick = "submitToServlet('DeleteGameServlet');"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the corresponding javascript:</p>
  
  <pre><code> function submitToServlet(newAction)
   {
     document.userGameForm.action = newAction;
   }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like the servlet to have access to userBean</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;jsp:useBean id = "userBean" scope = "session" class = "org.project.User" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
