> I have a login page which "POST"s userid and pwd to a (redir.jsp) jsp page

> (/servlet?reportName=test) to a "CONTROLLER" servlet. The problem is
> since the first request was a "POST", when I forward the "GET" request to
> the servlet, the doPost method is going to get executed so to overcome
> that I overloaded the service method. Now the problem is when I do
> request.getParameter("xx") I get a nullpointer exception that is if I go
> through the redirecting jsp page but if I execute the servlet directly it
> works fine. Now I did look into the archives and found some posts like
> this but couldnt find a solution for it. The only possible solution that
> I figured was to use sendRedirect instead of forward. In one of the posts
> from Craig, he suggested writing a wrapper class around the request whose
> getMethod would return "GET", tried that and couldnt get that to work
> either.

> One weird thing though, in my project before this, the jsp page(redir.jsp)
