John,
One way is to enumerate through the parameter keys and get the
values like as below.
import java.uitl.*;
....
Enumeration keys = req.getParameterNames();
while ( keys.hasMoreElements() )
{
String key = (String)keys.nextElement();
String value = (String)req.getParameter(key);
......
......
}
hope this helps.
Thanks,
NJ.

>Can anyone please tell me how I look for a null value parameter. What I have is
an if loop that iterates through the unknown quantity of parameters(I've
assinged numbers as the names of the parameters). I want to be able to tell the
loop to break when I've come to a null parameter value(hence the last
parameter). I am able to get the value, from the parameter, back as null but for
some reason I can't write a boolean that will return true. I've tried ALL of the
following:
>
>if(req.getParameter(nameOfParam) != null)
>if(req.getParameter(nameOfParam) != (null))
>if(req.getParameter(nameOfParam) != ("null"))
>if(!(req.getParameter(nameOfParam) == null))
>
>String temp = req.getParameter(nameOfParam);
>if(temp != null)
>if(temp != (null))
>if(temp != ("null"))
>if(!(temp == null))
>
>NONE of these return true. What the HECK am I doing wrong?
