request.getParameter() returns a String, so the toString() call is
unnecessary. It is also dangerous as request.getParameter("var") may return
NULL if "var" was not a form element in the submitted form, or if it was an
unchecked Checkbox or Radiobutton.

ml#getParameter
"public abstract String getParameter(String name)
Returns a string containing the lone value of the specified parameter, or
null if the parameter does not exist."
