Reading request.attributes() in my servlet dosent work, can anyone tell my why ?

[Frank Jacobsen]

    

public void testReadDocument() {
		

		try {
			URL writeUrl = new URL("http://tvgucmwascph2:9081/tt/ReadDocument");
			URLConnection connection = writeUrl.openConnection();
			connection.setDoOutput(true);
			connection.setDoInput(true);
			
			
			connection.setRequestProperty("DocId", "NOINDEX.A1001001A09E14A73748F00664.A09E14A73748F00664.1000");
			
			
			OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(connection
					.getOutputStream());
			connection.getOutputStream();
			out.flush();
		    
		    BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
	        String line;
	        while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
	            // Process line...
	        }
	        out.close();
	        rd.close();
			
		} catch (Exception e) {

			e.printStackTrace();
		}

	}

                
	

I try this in my servlet :

System.out.println("FJA er i dopost på ReadDocument..." + request.getParameter("DocId"));

But the DocId is null.....

I want some parameters send from my java program to my servlet, not in the url, but as a post.....

Schould i make a request.getParameter("DocId") or ???

Is this the right to do it, or is there a better solution ?

setRequestProperty does not what you think it does. It does not set properties that will be part of the request query. Instead, modify the URL:

writeUrl = new URL("http://tvgucmwascph2:9081/tt/ReadDocument?DocId=NOINDEX.A1001001A09E14A73748F00664.A09E14A73748F00664.1000");   
URLConnection connection = writeUrl.openConnection();   
// etc

Note that I just added the request key and value directly. In practice, you should use URLEncoder.encode("DocId", "UTF-8") and URLEncoder.encode("NOINDEX.A1001001A09E14A73748F00664.A09E14A73748F00664.1000", "UTF-8"). Or a different encoding if you like.
