JavaRanch MockExamQuestion

[Divya Guttikonda]

Here is a Mock Exam Question from JavaRanch:

A client types the URI :
http://www.someserver.com/servlet/SomeServlet?name=fred
The value of name can be obtained by:

a)doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
{
String name = response.getParameter("name");
...


b) service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
{
String name = request.getParameter("name");
...


c)doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
{
String name = request.getInitParameter("name");
...


d)doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
{
String name = request.getParameter("name");
...

The answer given is b, but i think the correct answer is d.Can anybody help me with this?

Thanks
Divya.

i dont see why d is not correct answer ?!

Hey I think both b and d are correct answers since ultimately the service method calls the doGet method passing the same HttpServletRequest
method
