John:
You are right. i wasnt being clear. Here are the details:
Implement a doGet() as follows:
if (there_are_request_parameters){
Save all the request vals in session vars.;
Response.SendRedirect(thisServeltItselfWithoutQueryStringVars);
}
else{
doPost(req, resp);
}
in doPost pick up the request params via te session vars and process.
So when the querystring filled url arrives via a link in an html page at the
servlet, the doGet(0 will be called, and the "if" will be true. But after the
redirect, the "else" will be true. On the other hand, redirecting will ensure
query string vars are hidden. I think this will solve the problem the original
poster had.
