Thanks Jakub,
I was able to solve the problem by the following.
The following warning generated gave the clue.
Mar 31, 2011 10:26:23 AM com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.WebComponent
filterFormParameters
WARNING: A servlet POST request, to the URI
http://localhost:8080/<URI>,
contains form parameters in the request body but the request body has been
consumed by the servlet or a servlet filter
accessing the request parameters. Only resource methods using @FormParam
will work as expected. Resource methods consuming the request body by other
means will not work as expected.
I modified the method to
@POST
> @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
> public Response doAction(MultivaluedMap<String, String> inFormParams,
> @FormParam("action") String action) {
>
Response response = null;
> if(StringUtils.isEmpty(action)) {
> throw new UnrecoverableException("Unexpected null or empty action");
> }
> // get other parameters from the map and do something...
> return response;
> }
>
Not sure why the formParam is required but it works in my case because
atleast one parameter "action" is required.
Thanks
Rahul
