> There might be more to it, but that's the gist. I tried to write a MessageBodyReader<Person> that consumes application/x-www-form-urlencoded, but the readFrom method simply takes an InputStream. I was going to transform that into a MultivaluedMap<String, String> but that's turning out not to be very straightforward for me (I can't instantiate my own). Is there something I'm missing? Do I just have to get down to the nuts and bolts of reading the InputStream and constructing my own map?

for how to get the Form / MultivaluedMap<String, String> from the
InputStream.
