Retrieve POST parameters only (Java)

Question

Does anyone know of a way to get only POST parameters from an HttpServletRequest object?

IE, PHP has the $_POST superglobal and Perl\'s CGI.pm will only retrieve POS

The question was answered in this related post:

Normaly you can GET and POST parameters in a servlet the same way:

request.getParameter("cmd");

But only if the POST data is encoded as key-value pairs of content type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" like when you use a standard HTML form.
