Synopsis

Variable Name:	request
Interface Name:	javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest

Description

The request variable is assigned a reference to an internal container-dependent class that implements a protocol-dependent interface extending the javax.servlet.ServletRequest. Since HTTP is the only protocol supported by JSP 1.1, the class always implements the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest interface. The method descriptions in this section include all methods from both interfaces.
