From the (2.3PFD2) spec: SRV.4.1 Parameters All form data from both the query string and the post body are aggregated into the request parameter set. The order of the aggregation puts query string data before post body data. For example, if a request is made with a query string of a=hello and a post body of a=goodbye&a=world, the resulting parameter set would be ordered a=(hello, goodbye, world). The spec is available at: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html The servlet spec is an easy read, even for beginners. Anybody doing servlet programming should have a copy, it's great for questions like this. (Just FYI: Normal sig max length is 4 lines of 80 columns. Your disclaimer sig (which I expect you have no direct control over) is much longer. It makes your company look ignorant. You might want to let them know what an awful impression it creates.) -- Christopher St. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] DistribuTopia http://www.distributopia.com =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
