Hi all,

A really easy question for you? I can't seem to get values out of a html
form using my servlet.  This is for example Name and password values.
The following code:

In the doGet method:
out.print("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Login</TITLE>");
                                out.print("</HEAD><BODY><FORM
METHOD=\"POST\">");
                                 out.print("<INPUT TYPE=\"TEXT\"
NAME=\"login\">");
                                 out.print("<INPUT TYPE=\"PASSWORD\"
name=\"password\">");
                                 out.print("<INPUT TYPE=\"SUBMIT\"
name=\"submit\">");
                                 out.print("</FORM></BODY></HTML>");
                                 out.close();

In the doPost method:

  String msg;
                                HttpSession session =
req.getSession(true);
                                if (req.getParameter("submit") != null)
                                        {

msg=(String)session.getValue("login.text");

msg+=(String)session.getValue("password.text");
                                        System.out.println("The msg val
is " + msg);
                                        res.setContentType("text/html");

                                        res.setHeader("pragma",
"no-cache");
                                        PrintWriter out =
res.getWriter();

out.print("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Values</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>");
                                out.print(msg);


****I get null values written to the html page on doPost().

Please can anyone tell me why and how to correct this.  Even if I write
the doGet() code as hard coded html, it doesnt work.
Basically all I want to do is print the name/password values entered
from the user on the html page.

Thnx
