About HTTP requests

[Mohan Chandrasekaran]

Hi I am preparing for SCWCD.
I got this doubt when going through servlet specification.
In the specification (SRV 4.1.1), they told about the conditions when request parameters are available to a Servlet.

I am not able to understand one of the condition mentioned as:

" The Servlet has made an initial call of any of the getParameter familiy of methods on the request object." - Here what is meant by "initial call"

hi,

" The Servlet has made an initial call of any of the getParameter familiy of methods on the request object." - Here what is meant by "initial call"

i think here initial call means the first time you will be using any of the getParameter family of methods(getParmater,getParameterNames,getParameterValues) on the request in ur servlet.
