Request.getParameter  error hyfen

Hi
I am sending information from midlet to a servlet with the use of datainputstream.
Dataoutputstream doesnt work for me.
I am sending strings in this way
hc = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url+ + + + + "&task_name=" + report.getTaskName() , Connector.READ_WRITE);
When i receive by getparameter a string without hyfens it reads the string good, but when there are hyfens in the string it reads only the first word leaving the other words away. (this resolves in an error later on)
How can i solve this problem
Urgent!!

hi,
When you are appending to url ie you are using http get method.so if there are any special character in your string you have to encode the url before sending it to server.
ie if i want to send a black space %20 is the values for blank space, hope you got me.
Unfortunately there is no encode url method available in J2ME API.
Why not to use http post method insted of get.Try sending the data as bytes and in server side open a input stream and read the data.

  • Null value in Session vars and request.getParameter

    We're migrating our application from iPlanet.
              Under iPlanet, when we looped through a resultset and set the values to
              session variables - it worked fine, even when a resultset value was null,
              but in WebLogic, I get the following error:
              java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: key/value is null
              Is there anyway to "turn this off" so it behaves like iPlanet?
              My second question is that we have many JSP's that check to see if a
              parameter is null in javascript:
              Here's the code:
              function onLoad() {
              document.form.elements[0].focus();
              // Check to see if the user is coming from a shortcut
              var imageName = "<%=request.getParameter("imageName")%>";
              if (imageName == "null") {
              selectTop("<%=select_image%>");
              } else {
              selectTop(imageName);
              <% if (tableIndex == 2) { %>
              loadShortcutIcon(13,100);
              <% } %>
              in iPlanet, when the parameter "imageName" is not in the URL, the javascript
              variable gets set to "null" - but in WebLogic, it is set to a blank string -
              "". Is there anyway to make this return null like iPlanet?
              Thanks,
              Matt
              

    Hi,
    the URL parameter is added just for the request to the page. When you press the command button then you issue a new request that does not have a URL parameter added. To work around this, you can use a PhaseListener that stores the URL request parameter in the session for later use

  • Newbie request.getParameter(String) issue

    I'm having an issue setting a boolean value in a bean based off a string from request.getParameter(). I've created a small example to illustrate what I want to happen:
    testForm.jsp:
    <html>
      <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/>
        <title>testForm</title>

        </form></body>
    </html>testWork.jsp:

      <%
      out.print("<p>" + request.getParameter("hiddenTest") + "</p>" );
      // Great it's sending "1"
      test.setTestB(request.getParameter("hiddenTest"));
      //So when I set this in the bean I should get true
      out.print("<p>" + test.getTestB() + "</p>" ); 
      //False? Not nice!!
      test.setTestB("1");
      //Alright there must be an issue with my code in the bean, so hardcode a
      //"1" in.  I should still get false.
      out.print("<p>" + test.getTestB() + "</p>" );
      //True?? I hate you.
      %>
      </body>
    </html>testClass.java:
    package thistestapp;
    public class testClass {
        private Boolean testB;
        public void setTestB(String testB) {
            if ( testB == "1"){
               this.testB = true;
            else{
               this.testB = false;
        public Boolean getTestB() {
            return testB;
    }So, I want when the bean is sent a "1" from the form to set the bean value to true. I however can't get that to happen. I'm sure there's something I'm missing.
    TIA.
    Joe

    ? if ( testB == "1"){
    Standard beginner's error. If you want to test if two strings contain the same text, use the equals() method. Like this:if ( testB.equals("1")){Your code tests whether the two sides of the == operator refer to the same object. It's possible and likely for two different strings to contain the same value, which is what you are really interested in.

    As the [HTML specification|http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html] states, you should be setting the enctype to multipart/form-data to be able to upload files to the server. In the server side, you need to process the multipart/form-data binary stream by parsing the HttpServletRequest#getInputStream(). It is a lot of work to get it to work flawlessly. There are 3rd party API's around which can do that for you, such as [Apache Commons FileUpload|http://commons.apache.org/fileupload] (carefully read the User Guide how to use it).
    You can also consider to use a Filter which makes use of the FileUpload API to preprocess the request so that you can continue writing the servlet code as usual. Here is an example: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/11/multipartfilter.html].

  • Request.getParameter comes blank on some browser, while works on other

    Hi,
    Need urgent help to rectify thie problem
    I am accessing a application hosted on Weblogic8 SP2 as WAR file
    In this application I am able to login and search result and go to home page of one the search results.
    But on some other machine on same IE6 or Firefox the forward from search results to Home page stops in a URL which is being used in middle to forward.
    URL (also used in JSP pasted below) is created in action class called by search result link.
    This is how it is impleted.....
    I have a replicated link with unique Id on Search result page which forward me to this JSP
    <head>
    <SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
    function submitform()
    var urlString = "<%=request.getAttribute("urlString")%>";
    document.form1.action =urlString;
    document.form1.submit();
    </SCRIPT>
    </head>
    <body onload="submitform();">
    <form name = "form1" method = "POST">
    <input type = "hidden" name="myVariable" value="myValue"></input>
    <input type = "hidden" name="empID" value="<%=request.getAttribute("empID")%>"></input>
    <input type = "hidden" name="ownerName" value="<%=request.getSession().getAttribute("ownerName").toString()%>"></input>
    </form>
    </body>
    </html>
    Once this JSP is submitted this URL has to call a action class to validate some session attribute and the hidden value in JSP above named as "myVariable" which is checked for some "myValue". So it will then Forward to Home Page.
    On some machines IE6 or FireFox this is working as expected and logs show correct results all through.
    But some other machines with same Browser, the "myVariable" value in action class is coming blank and so request stops at the URL submit in above JSP. However no errors or Exceptions are thrown.
    Please help in this issue if some one can suggest any solution or way to dig up more on this.
    Also if I havent explained clearly by chance, then pls give me another chance to explain more.
    Thanks a lot for all your efforts.

    Hi,
    Thanks for reply,
    Nop our WAR do not have any filter. and We used IE 6 and FireFox 2 on both machines. We also saw the Options for both browser and matched these for both machines. They were same.
    The javascript we used was to submit the form on click of a Href. but it do not use any JSP element. We had just set a value in <input type="hidden"...
    and this value we fetch in Java class by saying request.getParameter("name");

    why does getParameter always return null??? whats wrong?

    I don't know. However, I suspect that because you have a tag with the same name as 'title', its causing a name conflict. Chnage the name to something else. If it works, then that's the likely explaination.

  • Request.getParameter() not working correctly for Check Boxes!

    Hi,
    I am writing my own custom form action in cq5.4 and I need to access the fields of my form. I have a checkbox component on my form named 'cbox' and now I want to access it.
    So this is the code I'm writing in the JSP
    String name = request.getParameter("cbox");
    But when I fill up the data on the form and submit it.. I only get the first element of the checkbox which I had selected. So suppose if the checkbox was having some options..
    a
    b
    c
    d
    and if I selected b and d then I only get 'b'.
    Actually the type of the name variable must be String Array. But when I do..
    String[] name = request.getParameter("cbox");
    //it gives me compilation error saying cannot convert from String to String[]
    I cannot understand whats happening here. Can someone help me? How do I find out that which options has the user checked?
    Thanks!

    I think you are looking for getParameterValues().
    If you read http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/1.3/api/javax/servlet/ServletRequest.html#getParameter(java. lang.String) and http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/1.3/api/javax/servlet/ServletRequest.html#getParameterValues (java.lang.String), you'll see the behavior you are seeing is as-documented.

  • Request.getParameter("_ROWKEY") returns null in JDev 3.2

    My SubmitEditForm.jsp uses a bean which inherits from the EditCurrentRecord data web bean. In JDeveloper 3.1 'request.getParameter("ROWKEY")' in this JSP returns the rowkey for the record being edited, but in JDeveloper 3.2 'request.getParameter("_ROWKEY")' returns null. No modifications have bean made to the application - the working JDeveloper 3.1 app has only been compiled in JDeveloper 3.2. Can anyone help please?

    Hi,
    This exception is raised when the multipart/form-data parser has read the number of bytes specified by the Content-Length HTTP header, or tries to read past the end of the input stream, but has not parsed to the end of the message. As implied by the error text, this can happen for a couple of reasons.
    Although its unlikely, it is possible for a client to sent an incorrect Content-Length header. However, we've so far only seen this with a user-written HTTP client. We have yet to see a browser send the wrong value.
    The usual reason for this error is if a user hits the stop button while submitting a form. If the browser has already sent the HTTP header, including Content-Type, then the parser will try to read the entire message. However, this is going to fail, as the browser stops sending the request as soon as the stop button is pressed.
    Finally, there is one more possible reason for this error, and that is if the request is somehow being 'munged' in some way between the browser and the servlet container.
    To help us better understand what is happening here, can you supply
    the following information:
    - Does this problem happen consistently or occur only randomly?
    - When it does happen, is it repeatable, or does it go away if the user hits the submit button again?
    - Does it happen with certain HTML forms, any HTML form, or is it specific to the data entered into a pariticular form?
    - Does it happen with any browser, or a specific version and/or implementation?
    - What is your network configuration? For example, does the problem occur only when going through a proxy server or fire wall.
    - Does it depend on network load? For example, does it happen only at heavy load times?
    - What is you web server configuration, on what platform are you running it, and what JDK version are you using?
    As I'm writing this, the TAR system is down for upgrades - my apologies if you've already supplied this information.

  • Request.getParameter("blah") from within a class?

    Hi Everyone,
    Not sure if I'm missing something...
    I'm trying to create a class that will examine and parse information from a form, and then pass it to another class that knows how to handle the input.
    A request in the form of http://www.domain.com/stuff.jsp?1=param1&2=param2&4=param4
    stuff.jsp only has this:
    UrlRequestGetter params = new UrlRequestGetter();
    out.println(params.getTheParams());and the general idea for the UrlRequestGetter class is this:
    public classUrlRequestGetter {
         public String getTheParams(){
              String request1 = request.getParameter("1");
                    String request2 = request.getParameter("2");
                    String request3 = request.getParameter("3");
                    String request4 = request.getParameter("4");
    }Within that class, there will be various actions to check whether or not fields are empty, etc. The big point is that i'm trying to do a request.getparameter from within a class. When i try to compile, I get:
    cannot find symbol
    symbol:variable request
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Take a step back from all that, and read the error message: cannot find symbol: symbol:variable request
    Is "request" a variable you have declared or passed into your method getTheParams() ?
    Where is it supposed to get the request from?
    "request" is an implicit variable to your JSP. If you want to use it in your bean, you have to pass it as a parameter.
    I'm trying to create a class that will examine and parse information from a form, and then pass it to another class that knows how to handle the input.You might consider using the <jsp:setProperty> tag to map parameters to bean attributes automagically.
    Or the BeanUtils.populate method provided by Jakarta Commons BeanUtils.
    Or any framework like struts, jsf, spring, stripes....
    Cheers,

  • Request.getParameter() from same page as HTML form

    I have a jsp page with a form. form contains a textfield, once the user submits the form, i want jsp scriptlet to get the
    value of the user input and carry out processing on it within the same page and give a result.
    problem is the first time the page is loaded, there is an error in the request.getParameter() statement since no form has
    yet been submitted i guess ....
    if i use another page ... it works ... but i want to display the information in the same page ...
    thanks

    I'd like to see an example where you'd get a NullPointerException from the line
    if(request.getParameter("foo") == null)
    but not one from
    if(null == request.getParameter("foo"))
    In either case, the only possibility for a NullPointerException would be if your request variable were null (but this would cause a NullPointerException in either method). Otherwise request.getParameter() returns a null value if the parameter does not exist, but will not throw a NullPointerException.

    String tempQuery ="Select * from GSIS_EMP_MASTER where EMP_ID = "+ request.getParameter("id");if it is string then include double quotes for that getParameter()
    "Select * from GSIS_EMP_MASTER where EMP_ID = '"+ request.getParameter("id")+"'";observe it carefully i've enclosed the getParameter() with single quotes. you can use double quotes also but don't forget to use \" to avoid escape sequenses

  • Illegal start of expression, request.getParameter

    Hello,
    I added the following to my jsp page
    <% String username = request.getParameter("username"); %>and an error pops up saying "illegal start of expression", am I missing something?
    Thanks
    EDIT: Problem solved, other code was causing the problem ;)

  • Shorthand for request.getparameter

    hi,
    i've recently discovered the ${} shorthand for get attribute ie.
    <% request.setAttribute("test","100");%>
    <p>${test}</p>
    where ${test} will write the value of 100 to screen. conveniently this doesn't give a null error if test is undefined. even more conveniently it seems to have some automatic kind of casting so
    ${test/2}
    will return the value of 50.0 without the need to convert to an integer (or similar)
    i was wondering if anyone knew of a similar shorthand for displaying request.getParameter() objects and/or strings.
    cheers,
    ben

    The expression language is currently available only in attribute values.
    Future versions will allow its use in template text.
    shame it's not implemented yet.Ahh but it is.
    EL available only in attribute values applies only to JSP1.2 containers, when using JSTL.
    The "future version" is JSP2.0. That is available in Tomcat 5.
    the shortcut for request.getParameter("myString");
    is
    ${param.myString}
    Check out the implicit objects available in EL:
