req.getParameter("PASSWORD") !!

> 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

> PrintWriter out =

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