php code to jsp code.

Question

I'm a PHP coder but need to code some JSP...

I need help... What is the equivalent of this PHP code?

foreach($_POST as $key => $value){
   $$key = $value;
}

to jsp code...

---

further notes: the above codes is just a short cut of something like this,

$name = $_POST['name'];
$age = $_POST['age'];
$gender = $_POST['gender'];

and this sample 3 lines of codes in JSP is,

String name = request.getParameter("name");

---

Thanks!

Answer 1

for the variable variable name thing - i dont think that is possible in JSP (you do know that JSP is just a better template engine?)

also ... you do know there is google right? :P

Answer 2

This is untested and I'm quite new at JSP/Servlets, but it seems the Request object has a "getParameterNames" function that will return you the names of all parameters in the request.

If you enumerate through those you should be able to access the values with "getParameter".
