I am a new user of Velocity. I have a simple servlet (my servlet) that extends the
VelocityServlet. I am having trouble using the getParameter() method to obtain
parameters
submitted from the vm template. I understand that the VelocityServlet puts the request
object in the context, but I cannot figure out how to obtain the parameters from the
request.
I have tried putting this in the handleRequest method of 'my servlet' class
//to get the request
Object req = ctx.get(REQUEST);
// to get parameter from request
String branch = req.getParameter("branch");
I get this error
java:31: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method getParameter (java.lang.String)
location: class java.lang.Object
String branch = req.getParameter("branch");
^
Any assistance would be appreciated.
