Hi i try to implement in a tomcat container the => How can I make PUT or DELETE calls from browsers? i read the faq/mailing list but there is not a lot informations about that.
So my goal it is pretty simple, a html page with a <form> which contain a <input type="hidden"> with the name="method" and value="put" (or "delete"), and call the associate method in a resource ( handlePut() or handleDelete() ). My problem it is i never go to the handlePut() ! But always to the handlePost(). When i debug the application in the request object, in the method attribute it is always POST !!! So here my code : XHTML Page: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>form.xhtml</title> <meta http-equiv="keywords" content="enter,your,keywords,here" /> <meta http-equiv="description" content="A short description of this page." /> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <base href="http://localhost:8080/restlet/"/> </head> <body> <form action="api/form" method="post" enctype="text/plain"> <input type="text" name="text" /> <input type="hidden" name="method" value="PUT"/> <input type="submit" name="ok" value="ok"/> </form> </body> </html> web.xml <web-app> <!-- Your application class name --> <context-param> <param-name>org.restlet.application</param-name> <param-value>com.webmd.restlet.app.RestApplication</param-value> </context-param> <servlet> <servlet-name>RestServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.noelios.restlet.ext.servlet.ServerServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>RestServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/api/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> com/webmd/restlet/app/RestApplication.java public class RestApplication extends Application { public RestApplication(Context context) { //enable the tunnel service TunnelService tunnelService = new TunnelService(true, true, true); tunnelService.setMethodParameter("method"); this.setTunnelService(tunnelService); } @Override public Restlet createRoot() { Router router = new Router(getContext()); router.attach(/form, FormResource.getClass()); TunnelFilter tunnelFilter = new TunnelFilter(this); tunnelFilter.setContext(getContext()); tunnelFilter.setNext(router); return tunnelFilter; } public void handle(Request request, Response response) { try { start(); } catch (Exception ee) { ee.printStackTrace(); } super.handle(request, response); } } com/webmd/restlet/rest/FormResource .java; public class FormResource extends Resource { @Override public void init(Context context, Request request, Response response) { System.out.println(" init()"); Form form = request.getEntityAsForm(); String value = form.getFirstValue("text"); String method = form.getFirstValue("method"); super.init(context, request, response); } @Override public boolean allowDelete() { return true; } @Override public boolean allowGet() { return true; } @Override public boolean allowPost() { return true; } @Override public boolean allowPut() { return true; } @Override public void handleDelete() { System.out.println(" handleDelete()"); super.handleDelete(); } @Override public void handleGet() { System.out.println(" handleGet()"); super.handleGet(); } @Override public void handlePost() { System.out.println(" handlePost()"); super.handlePost(); } @Override public void handlePut() { System.out.println(" handlePut()"); super.handlePut(); } @Override public Representation getRepresentation(Variant arg0) { System.out.println("=> getRepresentation()"); return super.getRepresentation(arg0); } @Override public void delete() { System.out.println(" delete()"); super.delete(); } @Override public void post(Representation arg0) { System.out.println(" post()"); super.post(arg0); } @Override public void put(Representation arg0) { System.out.println(" put()"); super.put(arg0); } } Thanks for the reply
