Thanks Alex for the reply.
Yes. in this context I want to determine the weather of the country passed
from browser which will go into another function query.
If I do the above directly from the browser it works great. I am trying to
move this to the requesthandler so that I need to pass only the country
name which is what varies.
If all parameters in the browser itself:-
&country=USA&climate=if (weatherDetermine, weather_${country},
defaultField).
Basically I am trying to configure most of my params in request handler so
that I need to pass only one param that actually varies, reducing my query
url length.
So baseically was trying to find out *how I can access a parameter passed
from the browser in a request handler to determine on a field dynamically
using the info passed from browser.*
Thanks!
