Passing Variable via HTTP Address Line

[Tim2525]

Hi All,

I have a jsp page calling another jsp page. I want to pass information to the called page via the http address line.

Example: document.forms[frmName].action = "/tools/test/new.jsp?new,x";

How would I retrieve "new" and "x" from the http line in my new jsp.

TIA,
T

request.getParameter

If I remember OK.

Cheers,

That URL name=value parameter that you posted would not work...

If it was like this however :

document.forms[frmName].action = "/tools/test/new.jsp?someName=someValue";

then you can do :

String someValue = request.getParameter("someName");

Dumb question sedj. Where would I declare variable someName?
