Answer 1

For Loading properties.xml File :-

    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.loadFromXML(new FileInputStream("props.xml")); //path of XML file
    String  firstname = properties.getProperty("firstname");

For Sending it to JSP Page :-

    request.setAttribute("firstname ", firstname )
    request.getRequestDispatcher("NEWPAGE.jsp").forward(request, response);
