SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi,

I'm a beginner in REST.I dont know if this is a right place to post this
message but I could not find any other place so posting it here.

I'm implementing RESTful Web services for my application. I'm facing a few
problems when submitting the HTML form using the HTTP POST method. I'm not
able to retrieve the form parameters I submit using the POST method. The
"request" object is always null.

My servlet code is as follows

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.ProduceMime;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Context;

   @POST
    @Path("/submitform")
    @ProduceMime("text/plain")
    public String submitForm(@Context HttpServletRequest request){

        logger.info("In submitform"+request);

        if(request!=null){ // the control never goes inside if

            String name = request.getParameter("name");
            String surname = request.getParameter("surname");

            logger.info("Name::"+name+",Surname::"+surname);
            return "Name::"+name+",Surname::"+surname;

        }
        return "request is null"; // This gets returned always

    }

My HTML looks like

<html>
    <title>A Test Page
    </title>

    <form method="post" name="form1" action="
https://localhost:8443/rest/submitform/">
        <table>
            <tr>
                <td>Name::
                </td>

                <td>
                <input type=text name="name" value="">
                </td>
            </tr>

            <tr>
                <td>Surname::
                </td>

                <td>
                <input type=text name="surname" value="">
                </td>
            </tr>

            <tr>
                <td align=center colspan=2>
                    <input type=submit name="submit" value="submit">
                </td>
            </tr>

        </table>
    </form>
</html>

Any kind help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Pranav Parikh
