Question

I have a strange scenario. Query string has value first=second=12123423423423432323234

String queryString = request.getParameter("first=second=12123423423423432323234")

So i have to:

1. capture ‘first’ and ‘second’ values
2. validate the query string has ‘first’ and ‘second’.

Could someone please share how I can achieve this in the best possible way?

I really appreciate your help on this.

Answer 1

I believe your query string should look like

first=firstvalue&second=secondvalue

You can use this in your servlet to print the query string

String firstValue = request.getParameter("first");
String secondValue = request.getParameter("second");
System.out.println("Query String:first="+firstValue+"second=+"secondValue);

In your case, where the query string is

first=second=12123423423423432323234

You could do this

String first = request.getParameter("first");
String second = request.getParameter("second");
if(first.contains("second=")){
    second = first.split("second=")[1];
    first = first.split("second=")[0];
}
out.println("[First:"+first+"][Second:"+second+"]");
