Quick question about getParameterValues

["Gundersen, Richard" <Ri...@london-scottish.com>]

Hi

I was wondering if I can rely on the order of the values returned by
request.getParameterValues()?

In my form I have a checkbox, and then underneath I have a hidden field
with the same name. I do this in case the checkbox is unchecked (and
hence the value would not be sent).

This way I always get a value, and the value of the hidden field is
automatically overridden by the checkbox if the user has selected it.
This works fine as long as the hidden field comes second in the form,
but I was wondering if this is a safe way to do it. I feel like I am
relying on the order of the values being the same as the order of the
fields in the form. 

What dictates the order - Struts, the browser, the HTTP spec?

I'm using Struts 1.3.5 btw - really appreciate any advice.
