I am trying to implement a simple login servlet but it's not working properly.What I wanted to know is how to pass the parameters using a HTTP POST. It already works with HTTP GET but the username and password are visible from the URL. It would be better to hide them in a POST.\[code\]<form method="post" action="home" > <input name="username" class="form-login" title="Username" value="" size="30" maxlength="2048" /> <input name="password" type="password" class="form-login" title="Password" value="" size="30" maxlength="2048" /> <input type="submit" value="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11036651/Connect"></form>\[/code\]web.xml\[code\] <servlet> <servlet-name>home</servlet-name> <servlet-class>controller.HomeController</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>home</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/home</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>\[/code\]Servlet:\[code\]public class HomeController extends HttpServlet { private HttpSession session; private UserBean userBean; public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { UserBean user = new UserBean(); String userName = request.getParameter("username"); String password = request.getParameter("password"); user.setUsername(userName); user.setPassword(password); user = UserDAO.login(user); dispatch(request, response, ApplicationRessource.getInstance().getHomePage()); } protected void dispatch(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, String page) throws javax.servlet.ServletException, java.io.IOException { RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext() .getRequestDispatcher(page); dispatcher.forward(request, response); }}\[/code\]The problem is that the \[code\]userName\[/code\] and \[code\]password\[/code\] strings are always empty, meaning that the parameters are never fetched from the POST. What am I doing wrong?
