Hi Phil,
It looks like your form inputs are missing the name attribute. Try
something like this:
<html>
<head><title>Testing</title></head>
<body>
<form action="http://localhost:8080/newNode1"; method="post">
<label for="name1">Name1</label> <input type="text" id="name1" *
name="name1"*
value="Value1" /><br />
<label for="name2">Name3</label> <input type="text" id="name2" *
name="name2"*
value="Value2" /><br />
<label for="name3">Name4</label> <input type="text" id="name3" *
name="name3"*
value="Value3" /><br />
<label for="name4">Name5</label> <input type="text" id="name4" *
name="name4"*
value="Value4" /><br />
<button>Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Also, take a look at the documentation of the sling post servlet bundle @
http://sling.apache.org/site/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet-servletspost.html
for
some examples of content manipulation.
Regards,
Eric
