Sending an Array to a Servlet

[dvknn]

Hi,
I have a standalone client whicch invokes a Servlet.
I want to send an INTEGER ARRAY as a parameter to the Servlet. Can I do that?

If so can anybody show me how??

Use a HttpURLConnection object to establish a connection with the servlet. Then retrieve the OutputStream from the HTTP conn, then loop the array, writing the contents to the stream.

I have 4 params that I am sending to the Servlet.

One of my parameters that I am sending to the Servlet is an INTEGER ARRAY.

I formed 'key-value' pair Strings..But, my question is..

Can I send an integer array as a parameter or I should send ONLY String arrays??

If I can send an array I will be sending them as any normal parameter??

Hi,

You cannot send an INTEGER array to a servlet. Servelt Container reads every parameter as a String Object. Yes, you have to send the array as a normal parmenters.

Venu,

Is it written anywhere?? Could you point me to the source..

I know that while getting parameters, out of the request Object, they all return Strings..I can do a getqueryString and get the query String and then parse the string to get the parameters that I sent in..

I thought, I can send in any Object as part of Query String..

Thanks
