Problem may be because you are using post method in servlet but in html you
are calling get method.

Subject: Stupid Servlet Question


I am having some problems with servlets.
I have a Login.html which hits the LoginServlet. Within the doPost method I
am trying to extract the parameters from the httpResult, but they are all
null.

The Login.html is
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Login Test</TITLE>
<BODY>
<H3><CENTER>Login</CENTER></H3>
<FORM NAME = "Test" ENCTYPE="text/plain" ACTION =
"http://simon_peter:7001/login" METHOD="GET">
<PRE>

UserName: <INPUT TYPE = TEXT name = "Username"><P>
Password: <INPUT TYPE = PASSWORD name = "Password"><BR><BR>
</PRE>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE = SUBMIT VALUE = "Done with Login">
<BR>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

And the LoginServlet.
public void doPost (HttpServletRequest httpRequest, HttpServletResponse
httpResponse)
        throws ServletException, IOException
  {
  HttpSession session = httpRequest.getSession(true);

  String stUserName = httpRequest.getParameter("Username");
  String stPassword = httpRequest.getParameter("Password");
  Login login = null;

  httpResponse.setContentType("text/html");
  PrintWriter out = httpResponse.getWriter();
  out.println("DoingPost:\r\n");
  out.println("Username was :" +stUserName +"\r\n");
  out.println("Password was :" +stPassword +"\r\n");
blah blah blah....
out.close();
---------------------------------------
the result is spitting out.
DoingPost: UserName was : nullPassword was :null

Can anyone shead some light. thanks
