It sounds like a problem with their server but I'm not sure about some of the things you mention. When a servlet recieves a request like: /somedir/?param=value the part after the ? MUST be put in the query string. However, depending on the version of the API that you're using the semantics of doing the same thing with a RequestDispatcher might not be as you expect. You'll really have to rell us what API version you're targetting with this.
