JSP NTLM extraction of windows username

E

Eric

I found this username extraction code on "Real's How to..." site. The code
work great, but I
need help with getting it to work in my jsp/servlet
What I have done is put this code into a jsp of my own. the jsp has a form
on it. this form gets submitted to a java servlet, but the parameters
(fields from the form) are all null. If I remove the NTLM username
extraction code from the jsp, the jsp works perfectly.
I am not sure how this java scriptlet is interfering with the field values
of my form submission.

I use the hidden field 'action' to determine what happens in the servlet...,
but when i get the parameter in the servlet, its value is null, despite
having the JavaScript set it just before
submitting.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!
