httpServletRequest.getParameter returns null
I have two servers one (local) and the other (remote calling through vpn).
On both, the same application is deployed.
I stop the vpn to call the local one, so no interference between them.
I am trying to get the param in the servletFilter in doFilter method.
The local is on my pc : weblogic server 11g
The remote is through vpn: weblogic enterprise manager
In the first case httpServletRequest.getParameter returns the expected value of a post request.
In the second gets null.
I am sending to the following url:
http://mydomain/myapp/faces/login-return.jspx
the html form that sends the rquest:
<html>
<body>
<form action="https://mydomain/myapp/faces/login-return.jspx" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="param1" value="value1" />
<input type="hidden" name="param2" value="value2" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send to server" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The code in my servlet filter:
if (isSessionControlRequiredForThisResource(httpServletRequest, getLoginPage())) {
if(httpServletRequest.getParameter("param1") != null) {
httpServletRequest.getSession().setAttribute("param1", httpServletRequest.getParameter("param1"));
}
any help would be approciated

The problem was that, the server was expecting https calls and not http.
So when I changed my calling protocol to https it started to gather the request parameters like a charm!
