I may be wrong, but it sounds a lot like you are misunderstanding the scope of the request object. Apologies if I'm wrong - please ignore the following egg-sucking tutorial!
The request objects life starts, on the server, when the servlet container recieves a request from the user's browser. That request object is valid until the end of all server side processing (i.e. until the page is rendered on the browser). Nothing set in one request is visible in any other request. In the example you give you are copying, whilst your page is being rendered, one request scope attribute (index) to another request scope attribute (identifier). What you aren't doing, as Rick says, is putting that bit of information anywhere that can be used by a subsequent request. You need to render the index in such a way that it is automatically sent back to the server on subsequent requests. I think the easiest way to do this would be to declare the index as a property of your form bean. Your action could set this form property (rather then setting the request scoped attribute as it dow now). The <html:hidden/> struts tag will take care of preserving this value for subsequent requests.
