That way,we too are using getQueryString in doPost method, which works fine.
What i quoted down is from Jason Hunter's book pg:16/17.And it seems quite
rational.
How do u send parameters?
Are they encoded with the url (using ? and + signs) or
in a separate string using URLEncoder.encode()method ?
If i recall correctly, doGet, getParameter() worked, if i send parameters
in second way i.e. encoding them in a string.
Secondly, i do not know about html, but in case of applet to servlet comm. a
handshake is required for any data transfer.
