I don't know about servlets, but mod_publisher returns a list:

  ['NAME_ONE', 'NAME_TWO']

I don't know what causes this behaviour. Since only a POST request is 
sent, not a GET, I would expect any arguments in the URL to be ignored 
and only variables in the message body to be recognized.

I'd find out if this follows some kind of standard before relying on the 
order the values appear in a list. It could be arbitrary or undocumented 
(and therefore unpredictable).
