receive POST in a jps

[Sigi]

Hi,
is it possible in a JSP to receive data sent thru POST to that JSP? (without
using a servlet)

I tried with
request.getAttribute("parameter")
but it doesn't work.

Thanks

try this: request.getParameter("parameter_name");

What the other guy said...

I just want to add the detail that JSPs actually work by getting
compiled to servlets behind the scenes. But yes, without explicitly
writing a servlet, a JSP page can access the POST data.

${param.parameter}

For instance. POSTing the value 'Bob' paramter named whodunnit to the
url 'http://myhost.com/index.jsp' which contains '${param.whodunnit}
did it' will product the output 'Bob did it'

Although, its good practice to leave JSPs to doing what they do best,
rendering from a template. You would be better to do all of your
business login in a Servlet request (Controller), and then pass the
results (Model) to your JSP (View). Struts Tiles is a good utility for
this. As well as the Spring Framework and Spring MVC.
