Getting error while executing request.getParameter(params)

Hi all,

I am getting the following error while trying to retrieve valule from the HttpServletRequest obj in my Struts Action class.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at com.ibm.wsspi.webcontainer.util.RequestUtils.parseName(RequestUtils.java:235)
at com.ibm.wsspi.webcontainer.util.RequestUtils.parseQueryString(RequestUtils.java:95)
at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srt.SRTServletRequest.parseQueryStringList(SRTServletRequest.java:1399)
at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srt.SRTServletRequest.parseParameters(SRTServletRequest.java:1356)
at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srt.SRTServletRequest.getParameter(SRTServletRequest.java:994)

The URL which i am submitting using javascript at html file is something as mentioned below:

document.all.id1.value = 11;
document.all.id2.value = 22;
document.all.id3.value = 33;
document.all.form1.action = "/callpage.do?params=testing";
document.all.for1.submit();

Method type for form submit is : post

In the Struts action class i am writing as :

String sMethodName = request.getParameter('params');

Here i am getting the above said error.

If anyone is having any idea about solution to this error, then please share.
I am using WAS ND 6.1

Thanks in advance!!!

Can you change the javascript? something like build a hidden field named
'params' in form1, then

document.all.id1.value = 11;
document.all.id2.value = 22;
document.all.id3.value = 33;
document.all.form1.params.value='testing';
document.all.form1.action = "/callpage.do";
document.all.form1.submit();

Your query string in the request object has special character due to which it is not able to get the parameter from request object.
