The signature of the method i know (at least until jsdk 1.2.0) is
getParameter(String)
and it is not suposed to give you the hole request string instead it will
give you the string corresponding to the parameter name ...
if you have in a web form a name field and you put John Chuck
your Browser will parse it as something like "name=John+Chuck"
then you call on your servlet getParameter("name"); and it will return John
Chuck...
I would guess that on your case you could just call the servlet with
<a href="http://webserver/servlets/test?John+Chuck">
I hope it helps ,but anyway take a good look at the apidoc on the Interface
javax.servlet.ServletRequest.

Assunto: question on getParameter()
>Hi all,
>
>I have a question regarding HttpServletRequest.getParameter().
>In the servlet, i'm calling getParameter() to get the value that is
>passed to the servlet through the following HTML statement:
><a href="http://webserver/servlets/test?John Chuck">
>
>getParameter() starts reading the string after the ? and stops at the
>space between John and Chuck. If I removed the space, it will read all
>the way to the double quote. Is there any way I can pass any string
>that contains space in between so that getParameter() will read all the
>way until the double quote?
>
>Thanks for your help.
