        Subject:  checking for null password

        Hi,

        I have a problem in a servlet which i wrote.

        The servlet accepts a username and password from a HTML form.

        I am accessing the same using getParameter function in the doGet
function.

        String pwsd = request.getParamater("PASSWORD");

        To check if the user pressed the submit button without entering the
password,
        I tried
        if (pswd==null) {//show the login page again with a error message}

        The program does not enter this if loop .
        (The string pswd is getting assigned a value if i do enter the
password in the
        HTML form)

        Am i missing something?

        Harish
