Subject: checking for null password
> Hi,
>
> I have a problem in a servlet which i wrote.
>
> The servlet accepts a username and password from a HTML form.
>
> I am accessing the same using getParameter function in the doGet function.
>
> String pwsd = request.getParamater("PASSWORD");
>
> To check if the user pressed the submit button without entering the
password,
> I tried
> if (pswd==null) {//show the login page again with a error message}
>
> The program does not enter this if loop .
> (The string pswd is getting assigned a value if i do enter the password in
the
> HTML form)
>
> Am i missing something?
