Last month there was a long and involved thread about how servlet
engines should deal with the scenario that parameters are included both
in the input stream (i.e. a POST request from a form) and the request
URI (in the query string). The culmination was an indication from James
Duncan Davidson that the next version of the spec would require merging
of parameters from the two sources.
This is all well and good, but it leaves a crucial detail undefined.
The issue is, which source should getParameterValue() -- i.e. the
singular version, not getParameterValues() -- get it's return value
from? The docs say that it returns the value that would be in the
zero-th position of the array that would be returned by
getParameterValues(), but that still begs the question. Which source
should have priority (in other words, show up first in the arrays)? Or
should this be a configuration setting on the servlet engine?
