Can't retrieve form value on POST 1

[Twofy]

Hello

I have a servlet that display a form, running on Tomcat4.
When I "POST" the result, java return me only "null" values with the line : request.getParameter("myField");

Does somebody know what append?

Thanks.

Perhaps you would like to post your doPost() method from the servlet ? I tried to telepathically read the code via your post, but it didn't seem to work

It would also be handy to post aome example request parameters also ...

First, thanks for your help.

I'm using velocity template engine, that mix doGet() and doPost() in the same method : handleRequest()

Here the only significant code from this method :

public Template handleRequest( HttpServletRequest request,
                                 HttpServletResponse response,
                                 Context context )
  {
String st1 = request.getParameter("userName");
logger.debug("Read userName: " + userName);
}

And the form associated (HTML4.1 strict certified) :

<form method="post" action="/WebSpecif/connection" enctype="text/plain"><p>
          <label for="iduser">User name :</label>
	    <select id="iduser" name="userName">          
            <option value="Leon">Leon</option>
	      <option value="Lea">Lea</option>
	      <option value="Leo">Leo</option>
	    </select><br>
	    <input type="submit" value="Send" size="30"><input type="reset" value="Blank" size="30">
	  </p>
	  </form>

I'm using JBuilder6Pro to trace the execution.

Does this help you to see my problem?
Thanks again for your help.

Change :

<form method="post" action="test1.jsp" enctype="text/plain">

to :

<form method="post" action="test1.jsp" enctype="text/html">

or remove the enctype altogether.

Cheers.

Damn! I don't understand why the hell this modification work this time (i tried it yesterday), but it does : now IE6 give me back the right value, and that's all I wanted (even if JBuilder integrated browser still return 'null').

So, I don't know what spell you cast over my computer, but I sincerely thank you for it, sedj

A great "thank you" for your help.
