  Use request.getParameter("parameter");

<div>
 &nbsp;If you are talking about getting the whole query use:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; request.getQueryString();<br />
<br />
&nbsp; or an Enumeration to get all the parameters:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; Enumeraiton enum = request.getParameterNames(<wbr />);
</div>


 If you are talking about getting the whole query use:

  request.getQueryString();

  or an Enumeration to get all the parameters:

  Enumeraiton enum = request.getParameterNames();

<div>
Oh! I thought the getParameter() was only for form data included in the response. You say that the same method parses the query string?!<br />

Regarding the deprecated javax.servlet.http.HttpUtils class

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
