What is the purpose of 'var' in the hotspot servlet?

bjohns · Tue Jan 11, 2005 7:57 am

"var - value of 'var' parameter in the last request"

Can anyone explain this and/or provide examples of its use?

Thanks.

You can pass a custom variable in the hotspot request and it will be available under that name everywhere in the servlet.

How do you pass a custom variable?

Append it after '?' in the http request, e.g.

http://www.example.com?user=user&password=password&myvariable=value
