Okay Angus, say it with me - primadonna!
Maybe you could do a little research into anger control therapy, or better
yet, find out where the delete button is located on your keyboard so you can
ignore those really frustrating questions. There's no need to get nasty!
When I first came to the list I asked stupid questions too, and thanks to
the help and patience of people of like Craig McClanahan and Daniel Lopez I
can't believe the progress I've made both professionally and on my project.

Okay everybody, say it with me. RTFM!
If you had actually bothered to read a book or check out the
javadocs you
would have noticed this:
From the java docs
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/j2sdkee/techdocs/api/index.html
(under javax.servlet.ServletRequest):
getParameter
public java.lang.String getParameter(java.lang.String name)
Returns the value of a request parameter as a String,
or null if the
parameter does not exist. Request parameters are extra
information sent
with the request. For HTTP servlets, parameters are
contained in the query
string or posted form data.
You should only use this method when you are sure the
parameter has
only one value. If the parameter might have more than one
value, use
getParameterValues(java.lang.String).
If you use this method with a multivalued parameter,
the value
returned is equal to the first value in the array returned
by
getParameterValues.
If the parameter data was sent in the request body,
such as occurs
with an HTTP POST request, then reading the body directly
via
getInputStream() or getReader() can interfere with the
execution of this
method.
Parameters:
name - a String specifying the name of the
parameter
Returns:
a String representing the single value of the
parameter
See Also:
getParameterValues(java.lang.String)
A little research into solving your own damn problem before
posting to the
list goes a long way.
