Modifying parameters in HttpServletRequest

[Jun]

Is it possible to modify parameter received from client
before forwarding to another object?

If no, how people get around when they when to
change parameters before forwarding?

I can not use attributes since the receiver is expecting
parameters instead of attributes...

thanks

One possibility that I don't care for much would be to have a servlet/JSP to
get the parameters and change them to whatever you want, then redirect to
the new page passing the new parameters in the querystring
(blah.com/somePage.jsp?id=123&mode=blah).

If you're using JSP, a different method that I would prefer, though it still
seems inelegant, is to get the parameters and modify them, then stick them
in hidden fields within a form with method=post and submit it automatically.
It basically accomplishes the same thing but hides all the data.

That's my two cents worth, but I have limited knowledge in this area.

My question is not about "redirect" but forwarding...

It's a semantic difference, isn't it? Besides, neither a redirect nor a
forward can pass parameters except as a query string that I'm aware of. What
are you using (servlets, JSPs?) and what exactly are you trying to do?

There is only on way, you have to make wrapper Object of
"HTTPServletRequest" an at this Object you can change the Values!

That was what I did and I also need to sub class and have a super
for all my Actions.
