java - GWT URL Parameters

Question

What is the proper way to use URL parameters?

My URL is this: http://localhost:8080/#pg5?testing=abc

In my code I try to get the value of testing using this line of code:

String value = com.google.gwt.user.client.Window.Location.getParameter("testing");

Unfortunately all this does is set my string to "undefined".

I thought perhaps it wasn't getting the correct URL but this code returns the proper URL:

String value = com.google.gwt.user.client.Window.Location.getHref();

I know I can parse the url to get my parameters, but I thought that's what getParamerter() was for.

Answer 1

url should be http://localhost:8080/?testing=abc#pg5 instead of http://localhost:8080/#pg5?testing=abc
