getParameter in jsp file sent by HttpClient

[Alexandru Gifei]

I am sending a http post request from java. Here is the code:

HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(
                    "http://alexgifei.s156.eatj.com/index.jsp");
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("message", "123"));
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
httpClient.execute(httpPost);

and in the jsp file i try to display the message string but i get null:

<%
String message=request.getParameter("message");
%>
message <%=message%><br/>

You did not mention that this is an HttpClient question in your subject. That's important so I added it.

Aside from your question, you should not be using Java scriptlets in JSPs written after 2002. That's 10 years ago. Please read this JspFaq entry.
