Hi Christian
According to the jax-rs 1.0 spec, section 3.3.2.1, you should be able
to get access to the entire body of the request via an entity
parameter:
---------------8<--------------
The value of a non-annotated parameter, called the entity parameter,
is mapped from the request entity body. Conversion between an entity
body and a Java type is the responsibility of an entity provider, see
section 4.2.
Resource methods MUST NOT have more than one parameter that is not
annotated with one of the above-listed annotations.
--------------8<----------------
Section 4.2.4 indicates that the implementation MUST include an entity
provider for InputStream, so in theory you should be able to do this:
@POST
public void post(InputStream is) {
// etc
}
I haven't actually tested this yet. Let me know if it works (or doesn't) :)
HTH
cheers, J
