If you use Request.get(), that returns an object, and a File object if it was an uploaded file, String for parameters, and Arrays for parameter arrays. The Request.getParameter() as a String is very web-centric tho, expecting only string data on forms. -pete -- peter royal -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
