Currently, our applications are built around .SHTML pages containing <SERVLET> blocks handled by our servlets. We also allow "parameter overriding", which means that any parameter/value pair specified in the query string of the request URL "overrides" the same-named value in the <SERVLET> block. We figure this out, in part, by checking the query string returned by getQueryString(). Using our standard Web server (Apache), a call to getQueryString() for the URL "http://myserver/somepage.shtml?user=Jay" will return "user=Jay". This is exactly what I need and expect. However, I'm currently in the process of trying to migrate to a well-known commercial Web server, and I'm finding that getQueryString() in their servlet environment returns null in this case. The developer that I've been communicating with indicates that null is actually the correct return value. I completely disagree. So my question is, is this a spec interpretation issue, or a bug in their server? If I'm wrong, then I'm hoping to understand why from this post. If he's wrong, then I can at least submit it as a bug fix request for a future release. Opinions? And are there any workaround ideas?
