The java variable is being set from request.getParamater as you suggested.
In neither of the situations I have outlined is it ever anything other than
null. So request does not contain the value that the servlet uses. Any
other suggestions?

The nextPage variable is probably set on the form post action (i.e., when
you click the login button). If you want to see the value of the parameter,
read it from the HttpServletRequest Parameter like this:
request.getParameter("goto")
For example, in your html you can simply add this somewhere in the html to
have it written to the page:
<div>Goto Parameter: <%request.getParameter("goto")%></div>
If you are doing this just for debugging, the firebug plugin for firefox
will show you all the request and response data:
