Subject: Parsing a URL to see if a param exists


Is there an API call to parse an URL I have as a String so that I can determine if a given param exists? I know that when processing from Tomcat, I can do request.getParameterValues() for the URL of my servlet, but I'd like to know if the URL used to arrive at my page includes a given parameter on the URL itself (and not from a POST hidden param that will also be returned by getParameterValues).

Thanks,
David

Dave this is how I do it...

           Enumeration paramNames = request.getParameterNames();
           while(paramNames.hasMoreElements()) {
               paramName = (String)paramNames.nextElement();
               if(paramName.compareToIgnoreCase("save") == 0){
                   //Do something useful
                   paramValue = request.getParameter(paramName);
} }

Maybe?
Its probably all pre parsed by TC already...
