The right way is something like we did in the webservice.rest module > @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST) > @ResponseBody > public Object create(@RequestBody SimpleObject post, ...
(SimpleObject just extends LinkedHashMap<String, Object> or something) This may require Spring 3, which we didn't switch to until OpenMRS 1.7. You need to support 1.6 for HTML Form Entry, so I'd test this against 1.6 before going with it. Alternately you can can manually iterate through all attributes in the request, as we discussed on irc. -Darius On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 10:19 AM, João Portela <[email protected]>wrote: > I'm trying to send a map of key-value pairs as an AJAX request (in > Javascript code) to a controller (annotated Spring MVC).
