That would be as simple as calling request.getParameter("--name-of-text-box--"); , in pagina2.jsp .

Also no need to stick to GET you can use POST without any issues. Only difference is GET would send your parameters as part of the HTTP URL (eg http://localhost/pagina2.jsp?usuario=tefbaez)
whereas POST would send it as part of the HTTP header, so it would not be visible in your address bar.

It will never work as you directly inserted Java element into pure HTML without telling HTML you about to use something related to Java. You better start learning for example here, The Java EE 5 Tutorial
