Hi Valentina,
Form parameters should work with Jersey 2.x. I was curious if there is a bug and tried this simple test:
public class FormTest extends JerseyTest {
@Override
protected Application configure() {
return new ResourceConfig(FormResource.class);
}
@Path("form")
public static class FormResource {
@PUT
public String put(@FormParam("key") String injectedFormParam) {
return injectedFormParam;
}
}
@Test
public void test() {
Form form = new Form();
form.param("key", "value");
final Response response = target().path("form").request().put(Entity.form(form));
Assert.assertEquals(200, response.getStatus());
Assert.assertEquals("value", response.readEntity(String.class));
}
}
it works fine. Do you have any exception in the log? What does it mean it does not work - you get null instead of form param value? Can you please provide more details?
Anyway, yes, POST should be used for updating the resource.
thanks
Mira
