hi ann, if you can use the doGet() method in your servlet you can append the parameters to the URL of showdocument in a standard way, e.g. http://mycompany.com/servlet/myServlet?parameter1=value1¶meter2=value2 and so on. this won't work for doPost. you would have to use extra path info in this case: http://mycompany.com/servlet/myServlet/some-runtime-parameter hope this helps matthias -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ann patil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet am: Sonntag, 22.
