Q:

GWT Method GET, retrieve parameter

I have a gwt url like this 
http://127.0.0.1:8888/BiddingSystem.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997#ForumMessage=918
when I am doing this 
Window.Location.getParameter("ForumMessage")
I am getting null??
By the way, I not getting the point why this ?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997 in the url!!

A:

To get the value of the URL fragment (the part after the #) call Window.Location.getHash(). This will return all of "ForumMessage=918".
getParameter() returns query parameters, not the URL fragment.
See here for more information about the parts of a URL.
The ?gwt.codesvr= part is needed to run in Development Mode.
