unable to read request parameters

[Anand HS]

Hi, I am using httpclient 3.0 and trying to post data using PostMethod.
Im required to set Request parameters and retrieve them in my servlet.
Im unable to read the request values that i set in my client.

Here are the various ways in which i have tried to set my parameters -

PostMethod postMethod = new PostMethod(servletUrl);

postMethod.addParameter("abc","abc");
postMethod.setParameter("abc","abc");
NameValuePair nv = new NameValuePair("abc","abc");
postMethod.setRequestBody(new NameValuePair[]{nv});

In my servlet, Im just trying to do request.getparameter("abc") and i always
get null.

Am i missing something. ?

Thanks,
Anand
