Subject: wap-wml-parameters to database servlet
> Hi
> I've adapted a servlet I use OK for database access, from html to wap. It
collects parameters input by the user sends to database servlet and returns
data. I've rechecked the servlet coding and I'm sure it's OK, but I'm
wondering whether my normal servlet approach can be causing problems for
wap. I use "PreparedStatement" and underscore_ in parameter (variable)
names. I've tested without the underscore_ but have got no improvement.

I've checked wap articles (eg Mahmoud) but they don't cover this, and wasted
30 quid on new book Evans & Ashworth (useless) it amazingly deals with only
flat files and glosses over any intracacies.
