[FIXED] HttpServletRequest - Get query string parameters, no form data

Issue

In HttpServletRequest, getParameterMap returns a Map of all query string parameters and post data parameters.

Is there a way to get a Map of ONLY query string parameters? I'm trying to avoid using getQueryString and parsing out the values.

Solution

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.
