purpose of request.setAttribute(String parm1, Object parm2)

hi

can anybody please explain to me what doesHttpServletRequest request.setAttribute()do? and for what purpose is it used for?

i already know thatHttpSession session.setAttribute(String parm1, Object parm2)is used to bind a session to a variable, so that it can be accessed throughout the servlet application.

thanx

shankha

ps: please correct me if i'm wrong
