Retrieving form parameters

The Java program that receives the form parameters should have the following main method declaration:

  public static void main(String args[]) {
  ...
  }

The args array of String objects will contain the parameters sent from the Java program containing the form declaration. The individual strings in this array consists of the name/value pairs as follows:

  args[i] = "parameter_name=value"

and the following code should extract the parameter value:

  if (args[i].length() != 0) {
    if (args[i].startsWith("parameter_name",0)) {
     int pos = args[i].indexOf("=");
     parameter_value = args[i].substring(pos + 1);
    }
  }
