When you use POST the entire form object will be passed. So I think you can use the <formname>.<fieldname> to read the data. Correct me guys, If I am wrong.

You need to use request.getParameter(), reguest.getParameterValues() to read your form data.

I might add that if you click submit on form2, there is no way you can retrieve form1's data. And you can't nest forms either.
