It's not giving you the memory address - it's really giving you an
array object. If you check the API you will see that the result of
getParameterValues() is a String[] of however many multiple values
were returned.
You might be able to achieve what you want by simply:
String radio=req.getParameterValue("radio_button_id");
if(radio==null || radio.length()<1)
{
//radio didn't come back so set it to "no" or something
}
else
//radio did come back so carry on...

Trouble is they come at it from completly different ends of the
field. I've used both and can honestly say that servlets are better
than any Perl solution currently available (until multi-threaded Perl
gets into mod_perl).

Our pleasure.
