Neither or Both. Depends on your point of view. This is not behavior that
was specified by the Servlet Specification, that has been fixed in the 2.2
Servlet spec where the returned value should be a concatenation of the query
arguments followed by the post parameters. So:
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/servlet/xyz?p1=v1&p2=v2">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="p1" VALUE="v3">
</FORM>
When the servlet calls String[] vals = req.getParameterValues("p1") it will
get an array of two strings where vals[0] = "v1" and vals[1] = "v3".
