GET and POST with JSP

[sde]

is there a way to specify that you only want to look for POST variables in JSP?

currently, i use: request.getParameter("name") , but that will retreive either POST or GET variables. i'd like to add a little more security to my app so it only accepts POST variables.

You can find out they type of request made using request.getMethod(), but as you pointed out in our IM conversation, you can use both POST and GET in the same request. Upon testing, the GET variables take priority over the POST variables.

Your container (be it Tomcat, Websphere, etc) can usually prevent requests of a given type against a given namespace. But you can't do it in a webapp.
