passing values between two jsp files

Question

  <%   if(empRecNum != null && !(empRecNum.equals("")))
        {
           empSelected=true;
        }
        boolean canModify = UTIL.hasSecurity("PFTMODFY") && empSelected;
%>

<script type="text/javascript">

    function add(){
        alert('hello');
        df('ADD');
    }

</script>

On the click of add button, i need to pass the boolean value to another jsp and then go on with the df servlet function.
