With this example we are going to demonstrate how to get Request Parameters in a JSP page. JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a server-side programming technology that enables the creation of dynamic, platform-independent method for building Web-based applications. JSP have access to the entire family of Java APIs, including the JDBC API to access enterprise databases. In short, to get Request Parameters in a JSP page you should:

Create a jsp page that begins with the <%code fragment%> scriptlet. It can contain any number of JAVA language statements, variable or method declarations, or expressions that are valid in the page scripting language.
Use the getParameter(String name) API method of javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest object to get the value of a request parameter as a String.

Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:

GetRequestParameter.jsp

<html>
<head>
	<title>Java Code Geeks Snippets - Get Request Parameter in JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
	Parameter myparam: <%= request.getParameter("myparam") %>
	
</body>

URL:

http://localhost:8080/jcgsnippets/GetRequestParameter.jsp?myparam=myvalue

Output:

Parameter myparam: myvalue
