Not sure about GAE but there used to be (although sure it is still the
case) with glassfish in that the servlet container would consume the
post data such that if you asked for a map of values it would be empty
unless you explicitly asked for a @FormParam value as well. In fact you
can add a dummy param to force the map to be filled, giving:
public void post(MultivaluedMap<String, String> formParams,
@FormParam("dummy") String dummy) {
