Title: RE: Request Parameters Getting Lost

We've had the same problem dealing with wireless apps & WAP gateways.  Our theory is that the request params are being sent in UTF-8 not ascii and Tomcat can't deal with it.  We do not have any problems when using JRun or Websphere.

My apologies, we're actually using request.getParameter("page_id"), as well as the getParameterNames and getParameterValues as you've said.  I just wrote the wrong method name in my original email.

Given that we are using the proper methods, is there any way to explain this behavior?

Thanks,
Jason Voegele

Actually, the functions are getParameterNames and getParameterValues

Hi Jason,

I use Tomcat 3.1final and in an JSP the implicit object "request". If you
know the name of the parameter use request.getParameter(<name>). Where is
the method "getRequestParameters()" located -- for sure not in
javax.servlet.ServletRequest?

Regards

Stefan
