title: How get selected option label from a dropdown list?
body: <p>I am developing a simple web application in which I want to take the option label of a dropdown list in HTML page on the next JSP page. I am using MVC pattern and thus Servlet as a controller will be redirecting (forwarding?) the request to JSP view.</p>
  
  <p>The <code>request.getParameter()</code> gives me only the option value. But in my case the option value and label are different. How can I get the option label?</p>
