Body
<p>For a customer, I need to write a Servlet which can print values in a form post. The form is hosted on another server and looks somewhat like this:</p> <pre><code><form action="http://myserver/myServlet" method="POST"> <input type="text" id="someName" value="someInterestingValue"/> <input type="submit" value="submit" /> </form> </code></pre> <p>I have a Tomcat 5.0.28 server available, running on a Java 1.4 jdk, so I made a simple servlet:</p> <pre><code>public class ProxyServlet extends HttpServlet { public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException { PrintWriter out = res.getWriter(); Enumeration a =req.getAttributeNames(); while (a.hasMoreElements()){ String attrname = (String) a.nextElement(); out.println(attrname+"="+req.getAttribute(attrname)+"<br/>"); } out.close(); } } </code></pre> <p>When I go to the servlet by URL everything looks as expected. When I send a GET request with some parameters, I can see those as attributes in the debugger in the doGet() method (method was left out for brevety).</p> <p>However, in the doPost(), my form fields seem to be missing. I've looked into the Tomcat logfiles, and nothing special is logged. I tried to add a crossdomain.xml to some directories but did not find a way to change this behaviour. </p> <p>So to be clear: The Form as listed above is on server A. My servlet runs on an existing legacy Tomcat/Java application hosted on server B. When the form is of type "POST" none of the fields arrive at the Servlet on server B. Apache is NOT "in front" of Tomcat.</p> <p>Is there some configuration setting I am missing in Tomcat? Any tips or suggestions where to look next? Help is greatly appreciated.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
