I have a web application that has a rest method in it that accepts a POST
request and instead of explicitly defining the @FormParam parameters, I perform
a request.getParametersMap() call in order to get all the passed form
parameters. In a normal servlet, this should return all of the form parameters
to my application in a Map, but I'm seeing strange results when running this
under Weblogic versus Tomcat. In Weblogic, it behaves correctly, meaning I am
able to see all of the parameters in the Map, whereas in Tomcat I consistently
get 0 parameters back. Something is very fishy, but maybe it has to do with
differences in the servlet api implmenetation and how CXF works with this. One
thing I did notice is that when I explicitly put in a @FormParam("username") in
the method signature, it is then able to parse out the username and it
populates the method argument properly that way, but I'm still unable to access
that same parameter via request.getParameter(). Has anyone ever seen this
behavior?
I am using CXF 2.2.10.
My REST method without explicit @FormParam mappings looks something like this:
@POST
@Path("/user/create/{token}")
@Consumes("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
@Produces("text/plain")
public int createUser(@PathParam("token") String token) {
...
..
.
Map<String,String> parameters = request.getParameterMap();
// this outputs zero
logger.info("Request parameters size: "+parameters.size());
}
My REST method with an explicit @FormParam looks something like this:
@POST
@Path("/user/create/{token}")
@Consumes("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
@Produces("text/plain")
public int createUser(@PathParam("token") String token,
@FormParam("username") String username) {
...
..
.
// this outputs the value passed in the http post request correctly
logger.info("Username: "+username);
Map<String,String> parameters = request.getParameterMap();
// this is still zero
logger.info("Request parameters size: "+parameters.size());
}
Thanks,
Jeff
