I'll assume you have a doPost() method in your servlet. > I cannot figure out how to read this posted data from the servlet. Read the servlet spec, not just the javadocs; section 3.1 discusses how POST data should be retrieved (as parameters). Even if you limit yourself to the javadocs, you should have noticed this in ServletRequest.getParameter(): "If the parameter data was sent in the request body, such as occurs with an HTTP POST request, then reading the body directly via getInputStream() or getReader() can interfere with the execution of this method." The variations of getParameter(), especially getParameterMap(), can be quite useful. A simple example: http://www.javareference.com/jrexamples/viewexample.jsp?id=101 - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
