# Dump Request Servlet

A great deal of information about each request is available to a servlet developer. The Dump servlet has been developed to demonstrate the information available from the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest API. As well as a demonstration, the Dump servlet is an excellent debugging tool.

The Dump servlet has been configured with a few InitParams, so they are visible in all dumps. As this demo site has been configured with the session handler, cookies will be visible in the request headers and parameters. The Dump page has a small form at the bottom, with which you can add form content to the request.

The following links access dump. Also try editing the URL or making it the target of your own forms and links.
