in the servlet 2.0 spec, return is said to be server
dependent.
in the servlet 2.1 spec, return is to be the first
parameter, if
an array is found.
haven't reviewed the 2.2 spec, but i would guess it's the
same as
2.1.
replacing with getParameterValues("b") should fix the
problem.

Subject: Tomcat wierdness
First post for me... We're running Apache 1.3.12 with
Tomcat 3.1 for
servlets/JSP. And unfortunately, our development box is NT.
There is
something strange happening with form submissions -
particularly with
multiple select boxes. Here is a piece of HTML with a form
that submits to
a JSP that prints out the results with
request.getParameter().
test.html:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM method="post" action="process.jsp">
<SELECT name="b" multiple>
<OPTION name="b1">1</OPTION>
<OPTION name="b2">2</OPTION>
<OPTION name="b3">3</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE=submit>
</FORM>
</BODY>
<HTML>
process.jsp:
B:<%
out.println(request.getParameter("b"));
%>
Look folks, it doesn't get any easier than this! The
problem is that
whenever I select more than one item in the select,
getParameter reports
only one. This exact piece of code works on our old
JavaWebServer 2.0
server. What gives? The production box will run Solaris
2.7 with Apache
and Tomcat as well, but is still being put together so I
can't test it
there. Is this just shoddy NT implementation of
Apache/Tomcat ? Any ideas
would be very helpful.
