If you call request.getReader/getInputStream before any of the
request.getParameter family of methods, then all request.getParameter*
methods will return null. That's because Tomcat must consume the
request body in order to parse POST parameters. If you call
request.getReader/getInputStream, then Tomcat assumes that you will be
handling the request body (and any associated parameters therein).

Is it possible that you are "damaging" the request by inspecting the
request body?
