Hi Geeta,
I have not understood the question very well. But here are 2 solutions (damn different)
Sol1. Code below is in a jsp page (say first.jsp). This is a client to server communication through a form.

<form method=post action="second.jsp">
    <input type=checkbox name=chk1>
    <input type=checkbox name=chk2>
              .
              .
    <input type=checkbox name=chk100>
    <input type=submit>
</form> 

with the above code first.jsp will pass the state of the checkboxes to the second jsp.

Sol2. This one uses javascript. Here is the situation. The 2 jsp files are now (html). So this is a client to client solution.
Let say we have 2 jsp files on a server (first.jsp and second.jsp). So on the client we now have first.html and second.html. Obviously first.html and second.html have to be in either 2 frames or 2 windows.
The solution with frames (Let say first.html is in an frame called A and second.html is in a frame called B).
Now to send data from A to B. You will say from first.html in some javascript function:

    parent.B.document.form_name.element_name.value="somevalue";

The solution with windows. Let say first.html is in Window A and second.html is in Window B. Moreover let say Window B was opened from Window A, that is:
// in first.html there was something like that

  function passData()
  {
     .....
     win=window.open('second.jsp');
     ....
     win.document.someForm.someElement.value="somevalue";
     ...
  }

Hope this helps
