The Servlet is listening for requests. When a request is made it sends a response. The request is one of the parameters to the servlet, and you can tell that it has content in it, but you can not get the content from the request with getInputStream and I don't know why that is. Maybe I am missing something, but it should work.

And besides, what are you expecting to get from InputStream? To get FORM parameters and cookies and related things from client side you must call resquest methods. > ---------- > De: Manty, George[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Responder: Tomcat Users List > Enviada: quinta-feira, 20 de fevereiro de 2003 13:34 > Para: Tomcat Users List > Assunto: RE: Can't get Servlet Inputstream > > As far as the exception it depends on whether I try to do a getInputSteam > or getReader call on the request.
