Possibly is not exactly the correct place, but I need to resolve this stuff and your blog is related with this, so I ask you for some help.

I’m using tomcat 5.0.x and trying to get the parameters in URL I get null.

1 way:
for (String requestName : requests.keySet()) {
if (requests.get(requestName) instanceof HttpServletRequestWrapper) {
request = (HttpServletRequest) ((HttpServletRequestWrapper) requests
.get(requestName)).getRequest();
retVal = request.getParameter(“area”);
System.out.println(“retVal: ” + retVal);
}
}

2 way:
Map params = fc.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap();
Iterator it = params.entrySet().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry pairs = (Map.Entry) it.next();
System.out.println(pairs.getKey() + ” = ” + pairs.getValue());
}

3 way:
String area = (String) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get(“area”);

4 way:
area = fc.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext()
.getRequestParameterMap().get(“area”);

and the simple url in index.jsp

Thanks
