Request Parameter are case sensitive or not ?

[hasan khan]

I my country.jsp i have the following code

 <%=request.getParameter("country")%> 

when i call my jsp
http://localhost:8080/test/country.jsp?country=india

it prints india

but
when i call my jsp
http://localhost:8080/test/country.jsp?COUNTRY=india

it prints null

why ?
i believe in both the case it should not print null it should print india


http://localhost:8080/test/country.jsp?INDIA=india

[hasan khan]

please ignore the last line of the above question
http://localhost:8080/test/country.jsp?INDIA=india

Hi hasaN,

Yes, request parameters (and context/session/request attributes; and javax.servlet.ServletContext/javax.servlet.ServletConfig init parameters) are case sensitive.

Hope it helps,
