HttpServletRequest - Get query string parameters, no form data

You can use request.getQueryString(),if the query string is like

username=james&password=pwd

To get name you can do this

request.getParameter("username");

Contrary to what cularis said there can be both in the parameter map.

The best way I see is to proxy the parameterMap and for each parameter retrieval check if queryString contains "&?<parameterName>=".

Note that parameterName needs to be URL encoded before this check can be made, as Qerub pointed out.

That saves you the parsing and still gives you only URL parameters.
