Hi Paul,
Thanks for you reply. I haven't solved the problem yet.
I have a jsp page that posts back to itself. A.jsp --- POST ---> A.jsp
When I use the POST method, what I get is a network connection error
by my browser (Netscape) which then terminates the transaction. Somehow,
its not an error appearing on my tomcat (jswdk) server.
How would I receive the parameters from a POST?
Currently I'm using request.getParameter("Parameter1") from my GET methods.
Is there a different one for methods using POST?
regards,
Cheong Takhoe

hi cheong....
there really isn't any mystery to it...just use an HTML
form like you normally would:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=/the/url/to/hit/with/the/post>
Type password here:
<INPUT NAME=pin TYPE=password>
<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Login">
<FORM>
now, when the user types a password and clicks the
Login button, the URL in ACTION will be hit with a query
parameter "pin", with the value of the password. you may
wish to encrypt this somehow for security.
note also that if you use URL rewriting instead of cookies
for session tracking, you must do the URL rewrite in the
ACTION like so:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=<% response.encodeURL( "/the/url" ) %>
hth,
p
