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? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJZLwp0AAoJEBzwKT+lPKRY+GkP/RRGHM9JZmBneogWEN1WEjJK LhBlXJE1aQvKaP7Mpsj5q8VG+/pjWVfBSz8yBcLQPK4ty27LjPQF9fa1kTQZikrc xpe5pJDo/Tp/xeztPLWf3l4fvBaH8/fjbb+U9XrA1+00rev1FmcI/E5Qz6qMpj70 P2g/eCWYVUaNGNjrSR4YGGFzjq3/e7uD+a1V/gdQ5XtQQZBwT8tY4BdWBqbXmKoS MCvDzORr5QpD7Oy2OA9SCQ9/oMNe8ygmfKNlX+zMaasUhFfcXNP20iVor8YQLuLL jHmABh0VyRwKwodOcpiXg28+7sdGaD5HQvqG1flTS9xK2OdzYNLVXuek2smq3KU4 1qXiUp8dz6V7H/CYjG8hWXgQnZnfdgHSyi/S0NiZucQ35v4IbhRjQzKaLGHduqyV 5GP5eToQ2OrSwdFYVoa73E8eQgiBmDrodDzc9Ocew/fOTVQ1rP8nsNYU77mjwr3k Zh1m9RtG0Yi7RvBE9ifIm1p2woQQkD7ctIeaQvpUjJFfmexC3UFTFzwj9WLg0l46 rREx7BPkua9rxr+ttlSN/Dij26CPTVoy/RbM0naIBZYHBRNd4KFy85INdxYC79ug ZZZrlQEozSEqtA7ooT5+fw25B9cudH+Dy5mfjqxtF2m8Ll0p3m+o1f53T0sEHV7m hZTfhw0inWvHyEiece/v =NL2s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
