Using the request Object

To list all of the parameters available in the request object and display their values:

<syntaxhighlight lang="java" enclose="div">

<%

 String[] params = request.getParameterValues();
 for (int i=0; i<params.length; i++)
 {
   String paramName = params[i];
   String paramValue = request.getParameter( paramName );
 }

%> </syntaxhighlight>

To obtain a record identifier from the request object:

<syntaxhighlight lang="java" enclose="div">

<%

 String object_id = request.getParameter("object_id");
 String record_id = request.getParameter("record_id");

%> </syntaxhighlight>

Note: Although the object_id is alphanumeric, it can be used in any API that requires an object name.
