Request Parameters Getting Lost

We've run across some problems using request parameters in our JSP.  We
decided to create a JSP that does nothing but print out request parms and
values, just to ensure that they are being passed with the request.

We invoke the JSP like so:  http://localhost:8080/dwstatus?page_id=TEST_PAGE

Our JSP simply prints out the value of the page_id parameter, and enumerates
the names of all parameters sent.

The value we get for the page_id parameter is always null.  There are no
parameters present in the Enumeration returned by getRequestParameters().

Can anyone explain what's happening to our request parameters?  We're using
Tomcat standalone on Windows NT Server 4.0.

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?
