Dear Craig,
thanks for your swift reply! As you suggested I tried to foist the
servlet a new instatnce of the BufferedReader class.
The codesection in the doFilter method of my filter class looks like this:
HttpServletRequestWrapper httpServletRequestWrapper = new
HttpServletRequestWrapper() {
public BufferedReader getReader() {
return new BufferedReader(new
StringReader("testparameter=testvalue"));
}
}
chain.doFilter(httpServletRequestWrapper, response)
However, this approach does not have an impact on the parameters present
in the servlet!!
I am not very familiar with the debug option in catalina. Nevertheless,
I used it and came to the conclusion that the servlet actually does not
use the HttpServletRequest object while evaluating the getParameter method.
Can you confir that?
Regards,
Alexander Thomas
