WebCommon.incomingValue(3kaya)

WebCommon.incomingValue3kaya

Returns the first value for the specified key from user-supplied data

Usage

String incomingValue( String key, DataSource ds )

Arguments

key The key to retrieve data for

ds The source for user-supplied data

Overview

Returns the first value for the key from the specified data source, or throws a WebCommon.NotIncoming (3kaya) Exception if no such key exists.

// GET /example.cgi?a=1;b=3;b=5;z=;z;z
val = incomingData("a",DataGet);
// val = "1"
val = incomingData("b",DataGet);
// val = "3"
val = incomingData("c",DataGet);
// NotIncoming exception thrown
val = incomingData("z",DataGet);
// val = ""

This is generally easier to use than WebCommon.incomingData (3kaya) if only one value is expected for that key.
