Hi everybody,
I am learing
java by myself and I am reading about
servlets and I have stuck. I have written the following html
<html>
<head>
<title>Select a Stock</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="http://localhost:8080/servlet/ServLet1" method="GET">
Enter your name:
<input type=text value=Name>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Also I have written the java servlet
public class ServLet1 extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
String name = request.getParameter("Name");
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Hello world!</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<h1>Hello world!</h1>");
out.println("<br>");
out.println("<h2>");
out.println("hi 1");
out.println(name);
out.println("</h2>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
doGet(request, response);
}
}
I have install
tomcat on windows XP Professional
I call the html with firefox, I type in a name and press the submit button. The html of the servlet is displayed but the getParameter returns NULL. I have checked that the name is correctly written.
Does anybody has an idea why?
Thanks in advance.

Antonis
but yes as per standard of mark up language all the attribute's value should be inside quote.
