Question

In the doGet() method of a servlet, how can I get parameters given within the URI? For example, if I have a servlet mapped to /getContentServlet, Then one could do a jQuery $.get() to the URI http://mysite.appspot.com/getContentServlet?var1=foo&var2=bar:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){
    // Get parameters "foo" and "bar" from the URI
}

How can I do this? Thanks!

You can achieve that by using the getParameter method:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){
    String var1 = request.getParameter("var1"); // foo
    String var2 = request.getParameter("var2"); // bar
}
