RE: getParameter() help
No you are not doing anything wrong. But I think you are using a name that is allready reserved for a parameter. (Please correct me if I'm wrong) Try changing page to page1 or something different and see the result. Stefan
Re: getParameter() help
It looks like the "page" could be a key-word and is pulling
"mainservlet?cmd=load",try changing page to something like "pg" and see if u
get the same error.

Hi, I have a servlet which dispatches out various jsp's. Some of the jsp's
resulting html contain links back to the servlet to fire off another page
like this:
A HREF="mainservlet?cmd=loadpage=home"HOME/A
When I do a request.getParameter("cmd") the string I get is "cmd" which is
right.
When I do request.getParameter("page") the string I get is
"mainservlet?cmd=load" which is not right.
Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong with how I'm writing the link
back to the servlet?
Thanks!

Re: getParameter() help
Hi, Ram!
I tried changing the name "page" to "pg" but that didn't change that
getParameter() returns other part of the text that's not part of the "pg"
variable. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong with the URL in how
the parameters were being passed in the GET that's being executed when the
URL is clicked on. The first parameter "load" is always correct.
The separation between values passed is the "" symbol, right?
I'm using Tomcat 3.2.1, JDK 1.3, and IE 5.5 on a Win98 machine.
Thanks!

You are just hard coding "home" right, not using a JSP tag or something? Also, when you hold the cursor over the link in IE what does it say in the status bar? Is the link correct there and also is it correct in the address bar after you click on the link?

Re: getParameter() help
Matt,
You are doing it right.Try restarting the server and close all browser
windows that are open(just to make sure that the browser is not dishing out
the cached page).Also please post your code so that we can take a look at
it.
hope this solves your problem

Re: getParameter() help
Here's a boiled down version of my code.
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
{
String cmd = request.getParameter("cmd");
if (cmd == null || cmd.equals(""))
{
ExportHTML(request, response, filePath + "default.htm");
}
else if (cmd.equals("load"))
{
String pgName = request.getParameter("pg");
if (pgName == null || pgName.equals(""))
{
System.out.println("page is missing or empty!!!");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Outputing page: " + pgName);
ExportHTML(request, response, filePath + pgName +
".htm");
}
}
else if (cmd.equals("search"))
{
}
}
ExportHTML() is a function that reads in a html file and outputs it to the
client.

Re: getParameter() help

Did you try what Elijah suggested.I think elijah is right in pointing out
about the "home" word,probably the browser/server is substituting home with
the value u r getting.

RE: getParameter() help
I modded your code and made it a JSP so it was easy for me.
The following URLs work as expected. You will need to change /livelink/ms
to whatever webapp you use, I just put it in there cuz it was easy
http://localhost:8080/livelink/ms/foo.jsp
http://localhost:8080/livelink/ms/foo.jsp?cmd=load
http://localhost:8080/livelink/ms/foo.jsp?cmd=loadpg=foo
JSP Below
-
HTML
HEAD
/HEAD?
BODY
%
String cmd = request.getParameter("cmd");
if (cmd == null || cmd.equals(""))
{
%
H1Nothing in cmd/H1
%
}
else if (cmd.equals("load"))
{
String pgName = request.getParameter("pg");
if (pgName == null || pgName.equals(""))
{
%
h1page is missing or empty!!!/h1

RE: getParameter() help
Are you using Tomcat 3.2.1 as a standalone browser or in combination with apache or similar browser?? I tried to check if home is a reservered word but it works fine with my setup (Tomcat standalone, win2k, IE5.5) Even page works without problem. My suggestion is as RAmkumar said that something is getting the request substitutes home with the pageaddress and then redirects it to your servlet. Since it is working on my tomcat I don't assume that it is tomcat. Try using some other word then home and see if you are getting the same results. STefan
Re: getParameter() help
Hi, Ram.
Yes, I just recently tried out what Elijah suggested and I also re-started
everything, including re-compiling all my java source and scouring through
my html code...and so far I believe it works!
There must have been something about using "page" and "home" in my link and
probably an error in my overall html writing and then I had to make sure
everything was restarted properly. Elijah's recommendation of checking the
links at the bottom of the web browser helped a lot.
Much appreciation to you guys!
