Issue 30[1] requests that we improve support for POSTed form data,
either by supporting it with the existing @QueryParam annotation or by
adding a new annotation, e.g. @PostParam or @FormParam.
Note that we already require support for
@POST @ConsumeMime("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
public Foo update(MultivaluedMap<String,String> formData) {
String name = formData.get("name");
...
}
where formData can be used to get at the individial form fields.
The suggested addition would add support for doing something like:
@POST @ConsumeMime("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
public Foo update(@QueryParam("name") String name) {...}
Opinions ?
If you are in favor, do you think this warrants a new annotations or a
change to the existing @QueryParam.
If you favor a change to @QueryParam then which should take precedence
if the same name is used for a field in the request entity and a URI
query param ?
Thanks,
Marc.
