validation of code

validation of code

I am trying to pass a string to a jsp file, and then I hope the jsp file will do something with the string. I don't know jsp though. I just want to make sure that my logic is correct. My code "works", but I want to make sure of what it does.  I think I am posting the val of the string to browser's memory and calling the test.jsp file. Is that what is happening?
