http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43872 Summary: getMethod() always returns "GET" Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.24 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Servlet & JSP API AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache Tomcat/5.5.25 JVM 1.5.0_14-b03 Linux 2.6.16.27-0.9-smp I found the following strange behavours: 1) Within servlets, getMethod() returns "GET" even if the method actually used in the HTML form is "post". 2) Variable coming from HTML are all null when method="post" is used in the HTML form. 3) Within servlets doPost(...) is never executed. I'm aware that this behavour is to "big" to be a bug (someone would have noticed it before!) but I don't find anything in docs about any strange tricks needed to get POSTed variables. As a test case I wrote a servlet with both doPost(..) and doGet(..) and what it happens is that doGet is actually executed even if method="post" is in the HTML. doPost is never executed and the servlet can't receive any value form the HTML page when method="post". Here it is my coding: lele.html lele.java web.xml Please run it and have a look at catalina.out. You'll see what you have typed into the field "var2". Then change in lele.html method="get" to method="post", deploy and run the servlet again. You'll see that all variables are now null. lele.html ==================================================================== <html> <body> <form name="work" method="get" action="/lele" > <!-- method="get" works properly method="post" doesn't work as supposed, but like a "get" --> <input type="hidden" name="azione" value="scelta"> <input type="text" name="matricola"> <input type="submit" value="click here"> </form> </body> </html> lele.java ================================================== import java.io.*; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; public class lele extends HttpServlet { public void doPost (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException, ServletException { try { String azione = req.getParameter("azione"); String matricola = req.getParameter("matricola"); String method = req.getMethod(); System.out.println("doPost: method="+method); System.out.println("doPost: azione="+azione); System.out.println("doPost: matr="+matricola); } catch(Exception e) { System.out.println("doPost: errore "+e.toString()); } ServletContext contesto = getServletContext(); RequestDispatcher rd = contesto.getRequestDispatcher("/lele.html"); rd.forward(req, res); } public void doGet (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException, ServletException { try { String azione = req.getParameter("azione"); String matricola = req.getParameter("matricola"); String method = req.getMethod(); System.out.println("doGet: method="+method); System.out.println("doGet: azione="+azione); System.out.println("doGet: matr="+matricola); } catch(Exception e) { System.out.println("doGet: errore "+e.toString()); } ServletContext contesto = getServletContext(); RequestDispatcher rd = contesto.getRequestDispatcher("/lele.html"); rd.forward(req, res); } } web.xml ==================================================================== <web-app> <display-name>Applicazione "lele"</display-name> <servlet> <servlet-name>lele</servlet-name> <description>lele nostra</description> <servlet-class>lele</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>lele</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/index.html</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <session-config> <session-timeout>30</session-timeout> </session-config> </web-app> -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
