Re: ExternalContext.getParameterValuesMap

[Andrew Robinson]

Yes it is correct, just look at the javadoc API.

To get an array of all values for the example:

page.jsf?param1=value1&param1=value2
results in "param1" = { "value1", "value2" }

Use:

To get just the first value use:

public abstract Map<String,String[]> getRequestParameterValuesMap()
vs.
public abstract Map<String,String> getRequestParameterMap()

Are parameters values always stroed as String arrays?
I use
     the ExternalContext method getParameterValuesMap

The method valuesMap getValue() method returns a string array.

In the example page.jsp?param=param1

I get

["param1]

is the correct and why is this so?
