using href with jsp scriplets

[sam barker]

Hi,
I am trying to pass 3 values as request parameters

<td><a href="ControllerServelet?operation=CHECK_LIST&propertyoffset=<%= i %>&searchindex=<%= startIndex %>">whats this?</a> </td

But when i try to access it in the other jsp
i am getting null value..
eg.....
String index=(String)request.getAttribute("searchindex");
if(index==null)
System.out.println("index is null");


Could anyone tell me the correct way of doing this.
Cheers
