I have a problem with methods Get and Post

[John Sutheran]

Hi

I have a problem with the Get and Post methods in my JSP. My code looks somthing like this.

JavaScript
function submitForm(queryId) {
document.formReview.action = document.formReview.action+"?action="+ queryId;
document.formReview.submit();
}

<form name="formReview" id="formReview" method="post" action="myServlet">
------Here I have a list of records. When the user clicks on the ID of one of the records I am calling a JavaScript function submitForm which submits the request with ID.
</form>

In the servlet I am able to get the ID using request.getParameter("action") if the method is POST. But the problem is with the method GET. If I am using GET then I am getting the ID as null. What could be the reason for this?

Thank you

Johnny,
Welcome to JavaRanch!

We're pleased to have you here with us in the JSP forum, but there
are a few rules that need to be followed, and one is that proper names are
required. Please take a look at the
JavaRanch Naming Policy and
adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

You can change it here

This was your second warning regarding your display name. Be aware that accounts with invalida display names are disabled.

Sorry about that.

I don't know whether this is what is screwing you up or not, but...

document.formReview.action = document.formReview.action+"?action="+ queryId;

it's not the best of idea to put query parameters on a form action. Rather, create a hidden input and set the value into the input before submitting the form.
