Question

I need your help in this particular issue
I want to pass the value of a hidden input type in a .jsp program to a servlet program

what I am doing is basically this

<input type="hidden" name="articleId" id="articleId" value=" <%request.getParameter("articleId");%>"/>

and from the servlet I am getting the value

String articleId = request.getParameter("message");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.println(articleId);

It doesn’t print any think . the jsp form method is post and the servlet method is doPost

any Ideas why it doesn’t pass the parameter?

Answer 1

You used wrong parameter, should do as following:

String articleId = request.getParameter("articleId");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println(articleId);
