BBjspWebRequest::getParameter (Deprecated)

The BBJSP system is deprecated. For new development, use BBxServlet.

Description

In BBj 16.0 and later, this method returns the value of the named request parameter as a string.

Syntax

Return Value	Method
String	getParameter(string `name`)

Parameters

Variable	Description
name	The name of the parameter to retrieve

Return Value

a string containing the parameters' value

Remarks

The example below shows getting the parameters and their values from a request within a BBJSP Servlet.

Example

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP web-page

<%@ taglib uri='/WEB-CFG/tld/core.tld' prefix='c' %> <html>     <body>         <h1>Hello from BBJSP</h1>         <c:iterate data='<%= #getRequest().getParameterNames()' id='name'>             ${name} : ${param[name]}         </c:iterate>     </body> </html>

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP servlet

class public MyServlet   field private BBjspWebRequest request!   field private BBjspWebResponse response!   field private BBjspWebSession session!      method public void service(BBjspServletContext context!)             #request! = context!.getRequest()     #response! = context!.getResponse()     #response!.setContentType("text/html")     s! = #response!.getOutputStream()          #session! = #request!.getSession()          s!.write("<html><body><h1>Hello from BBJSP</h1>")     vectNames! = #request!.getParameterNames()     sz = vectNames!.getSize()     if sz then       for i = 0 to sz-1         name$ = vectNames!.get(i)         if i then           s!.write(",")         endif         s!.write(name$)       next i     endif     s!.write("</body></html>")   methodend classend
