Re: servlet parms from HTML frame

[Ravi Sankar Pabbati]

Yes, you can pass parameters to the servlet as a 'query string'. We don't need
POST method for this. The 'query string' is appended to the url. The URL with
query string looks something like this


<frame src="../MainServlet?PARM=GetPrice" METHOD=GET name="window1" >

A general url with query string looks like this

http://host:port?param1=value1&param2=value2

In the servlet we can access the parameters using getParameter() function.
