I'm trying to do something that looks small but it's failing. I'm trying to send a response message back to a jsp when login fails but not being able. As of now I can only redirect back to the jsp but cannot display a message from the servlet on it. This is the servlet part of the redirection:

                if (count > 0) {
                res.sendRedirect("adminHome.jsp");
            } else {

                res.sendRedirect("index.jsp");
            }

I tried to print a message using PrintWriter and the redirect but failed because I couldn't get how to receive the message in the JSP. I also read that I shouldn't redirect but rather I should just forward from the servlet. How can I do this? Please help with the code patch to forward from servlet as well as that one to receive in JSP. Thanks
