           Summary: Tomcat loses request parameters
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.9
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Hi,

I’m having a problem with parameters loses in tomcat. It’s an intermittent
problem. That occurs when I do some ajax’s request and then I do one or more
form submissions. 

I put the tomcat in debug mode and  I observed the class CoyoteAdapter – the
method service(). There exists a request variable (CoyoteRequest type) that has
a protected variable requestParametersParsed that is a flag to parse or not
parse the parameters of a post or get. In the end of the method exists a
‘finally’ clause that force the request variable to do a recycle. The recycle
forces the requestParametersParsed variable to change to false. Then in the next
utilization of the class the parameters will be parsed again. 

The problem that I’ve found is in some situations (as described at the start)
the requestParametersParsed variable is true and the parameters are not parsed. 

The consequence of this is that in my servlet when I ask request.getParameter(…)
and it returns null but in my query string or in my post data has the parameter.
The prove of that is when I ask request.getQueryString() and it returns a not
empty string with my parameter.

Ex:

request.getQueryString() = servlet?param=x
request.getParameter(‘param’) = null


See a pierce of the method service of CoyoteAdapter:
 
    public void service(Request req, Response res)
        throws Exception {

…
        try {

            // Parse and set Catalina and configuration specific
            // request parameters
            if ( postParseRequest(req, request, res, response) ) {
                // Calling the container
                connector.getContainer().invoke(request, response);
            }

…
        } finally {
            // Recycle the wrapper request and response
            request.recycle();
            response.recycle();
        }

    }

At line “if postParseRequest(…” the request. requestParametersParsed must be
false but in some situations it is true!

I cant find the cause of the problem but I found the problem. To resolve my
problem I put a request.recycle(); before the line to force the
requestParametersParsed  variable to false.
I don’t want to have a tomcat modified by me. Its not good.
