[FIXED] HttpServletRequest parameter lowercase

Issue

After following this question, I added HttpServletRequest parameter to my method. But I added nearly 20 IF conditions to have a complete case-insensitive URL.

This is a completely painful and ugly way of coding, I know. I request anyone to give an amazing solution to this.

I need to have a case-insensitive request-parameter. The request parameter which is sending is orgID. This parameter would be coming in different ways. E.g. Orgid, oRgid, orGid, orgID ... and so-on

I cannot do this directly as request.getParamter ("orgID"). For this, I am adding many if conditions. :-( as I said, completely ugly coding.

Solution

Though this concept is wrong(it is not good to get the params in different cases) the following code snippet works:

String getCaseInsensitiveParameter(HttpServletRequest request){
Map params = request.getParameterMap();
    Iterator i = params.keySet().iterator();
    while ( i.hasNext() )
      {
        String key = (String) i.next();
        String value = ((String[]) params.get( key ))[ 0 ];
        if ("orgid".equals(key.toLowerCase()) {
            return value;
        }
      }
return null;
}
