Problem with filter and calling Perl-script with Tomcat 5.5.20

String AStringWhichHoldsPostedOrQSValue;
if(HttpServletRequest.getMethod()  ==  "POST")
{ //Post only
 AStringWhichHoldsPostedOrQSValue = HttpServletRequest.getParameter("whatever");
}
else
{ //Get Only..
 AStringWhichHoldsPostedOrQSValue =  HttpServletRequest.getQueryString();
}
It has been my experience that getParameter<Whatever> does NOT retrieve POSTed values when Method = 'Get')

Subject: Problem with filter and calling Perl-script with Tomcat 5.5.20


Hi,

I've a problem with the new 5.5.20 Tomcat version.
I think this has to do with this bug fix
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37285.

The problem is that I have a filter that adds a parameter before the
CGI-filter calling out to a Perl-script.

This code worked with Tomcat 5.5.17 and works with 5.5.20 if the request
is a GET but not a POST.

This is the relevant code:

HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request; 
HashMap<String, String[]> parameters = new HashMap<String, String[]>(
   (HashMap<String, String[]>) httpServletRequest.getParameterMap());
fillUserInfo(parameters);
httpServletRequest = generateWrapper(httpServletRequest, parameters);
chain.doFilter(httpServletRequest, response);


Can you advise me what to do?

Regards
Gunnar
