[opencms-dev] Can't find params in request object

[Philip]

Hi there,

For some reason, I can't find the parameters from a form that I'm testing in
my request object.  

I'm accessing the request object in my template and using the template for
an html file.

The only parameters that I can find in the request object are:
element: _flex_export_body
element: _flex_export
element: _flex_export_encoding

It doesn't seem to matter whether this page is being submitted to or not, I
get only those params.

---------------Here's the code:
<%
    // create a JSP action element
    CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request,
response);
    CmsObject cmsObject = cms.getCmsObject();
    out.println(request.getParameter("login"));  // this produces null, no
matter what
    Enumeration params = request.getParameterNames();
    while (params.hasMoreElements()) {
        out.println("element: " + params.nextElement() + "<br/>");
    }
    if (request.getParameter("login") != null) {  //This block is never run
as the param is always null
        //out.println("It was not null!");
        String username = request.getParameter("username");
        String password = request.getParameter("password");
        out.println("About to log user in with " + username + " " +
password);
        if (username != null && password != null)
            cmsObject.loginUser(username, password);
    }

%>
---------------End of code

I'm using OpenCMS 5.0.1 on Redhat 7.3

If anyone has any thoughts, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!
Philip
