Trying to pass parameters from one set of frames to another set of frames.

Question

I have a JSP page with two frames.
TestPage1.jsp has this code:
<frameset rows="90,*">
<frame name="topFrm1" src="TestPage1A.jsp">
<frame name="botFrm1" src="TestPage1B.jsp">
</frameset>
In TestPage1B.jsp I have a form that submits parameters:
<form name=test1Frm method=post action="TestPage2.jsp" target=_top>
<input type=hidden name=param1 value=var1>
<input type=hidden name=param2 value=var2>
<input type=submit>
</FORM>
TestPage2.jsp is also a frameset almost identical to TestPage1.jsp:
<frameset rows="90,*">
<frame name="topFrm2" src="TestPage2A.jsp">
<frame name="botFrm2" src="TestPage2B.jsp">
</frameset>
TestPage2B.jsp includes a servlet that needs to receive the parameter values:
<jsp:include page="/servlet/MyClasses.TestPages" flush="true" />
If I submit the form in TestPage1B.jsp directly to TestPage2B.jsp, the parameters are successfully passed to the servlet, but if I submit the form to the frameset page TestPage2.jsp, the parameters are not passed. I've tried a variety of variations with the Target, but nothing works.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. TIA.
Cheers,
Logan

Logan,
In your case I feel using Sessions is the best solution instead of passing params as the JSPs TestPage2.jsp & TestPage2B.jsp are two different pages. Store the values to be passed in session and retrieve the same in the servlet.
