Why don't u use the method

getParameterNames() on the request to iterate through the available name/
vale pairs before retrieving the values of the same. Think it's more elegant
and fast.

Hope it helps.

PS: U can use the method getParameterValues() after that to get the values
of the same and put it into appropriate variables.

                Subject:        handling Query strings

                Hi All

                When we more than one querystring in JSP, how do we
                read then in the next page, because if we use
                request.getQueryString(), it returns the whole string
                after '?'

                and if we use request.getParameter("parameterName"),
                it works fine, but when requests come from different
                pages and they do not contain this parameter, it
                throws nullpointer exception.

                In detail:

                abc.jsp?id=123, in abc.jsp we can read id by using
                request.getParameter("id"), but if a request comes
                from another page, say, xyz.jsp to abc.jsp without any
                parameter, abc.jsp throws expection

                Is there any better way of dealing with these
                querystrings/parameters.  any examples/links are
                highly appreciated

                Regards

                Venkat
