      &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am able to print it also in my JSP</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to request.getAttribute in my servlet as below</p>
  
  <pre><code>    public class QnAAuthServlet extends HttpServlet {
          private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
  
          public QnAAuthServlet() {
              super();
  
          }
  
          protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
  
          }
  
          protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
          enter code here
              String name = (String) request.getAttribute("name");
              System.out.println("name = " + name);
  
          }
  
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But name is always null in my servlet. Please someone help me to resolve this.</p>
