Allow GET method in form component
----------------------------------
Key: TAP5-1285
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1285
Project: Tapestry 5
Issue Type: Wish
Components: tapestry-core
Reporter: Lutz Hühnken
The Tapestry form component is currently only supporting the "POST" method.
The POST method is usually associated with changing the "model" on the server
side, e.g. in REST applications, POST indicates that a resource is modified, if
I am not mistaken.
The lack of GET support makes it necessary to use POST also for simple queries,
such as a search field, where the model is not modified.
This is a) semantically irritating, since for example a search query will not
modify state and
b) requires extra "work", for example a redirect-after-post, where it should
not be necessary.
Since Tapestry aspires to make the simple things easy, the difficult things
possible, I think it should provide first-class support for the GET method.
