Understand with Example

In this section, you will learn how to get the parameters using the method request.getParameter(). This method is provided by the interface ServletRequest which returns the value of a request parameter as a String, or null if the parameter does not exist. You can see in the given example that we prompt the user to enter the name and address in the provided text fields. Then on clicking the button, the method request.getParameter() retrieves the passed parameters and displays the value of the parameters on the browser.

<tr><td>
Enter your Name:</td><td><input type="text" size="20" name="name"/></td></tr><tr><td>
Enter your Address:</td><td><input type="text" size="20" name="address"/><br></td></tr><tr><td>
<input type="submit" value="Get Parameter"/></td></tr>
<%
if (request.getParameter("name") == null&&request.getParameter("address") == null) {
out.println("Please enter the fields.");
} else {%>
<tr><td><%
out.println("Name: <b>"+request.getParameter("name")+"</b>!"+"<br>");
out.println("Address: <b>"+request.getParameter("address")+"</b>!");
