I believe there is something wrong, or at least unpleasant in the Restlet Engine (V1.1 RC2).
I am using the "language" as a form input. I have a simple test case (below) which mimics the form input. Input of this: http://localhost:8080/test?lang=all <http://localhost:8080/xbrlet/test/test?lang=all&language=all&xyz=all> &language=all&xyz=all Provides (expected): Test Form Data: lang = all xyz = all language = all But, input of this: http://localhost:8080/test?lang=fr <http://localhost:8080/test?lang=fr&language=fr&xyz=fr> &language=fr&xyz=fr Provides (unexpected): Test Form Data: lang = fr xyz = fr (note missing "language = fr "text). Random sampling: It works for language="it", and "de", but not "en" or "fr". Is there something special about the language name? I can of course use some other name, but I spent hours tracing this down. I have tried it in Tomcat (my standard environment) and standalone. Here's the quick test code, pasted basically into your HelloWorldResource example: @Override public Representation represent(final Variant variant) { final Form form = getRequest().getResourceRef().getQueryAsForm(); final StringBuffer formsb = new StringBuffer(); if (form != null) { formsb.append("Form Data:\n"); for (String name : form.getNames()) { final String value = form.getFirstValue(name); formsb.append("\t"); formsb.append(name); formsb.append(" = "); formsb.append(value); formsb.append("\n"); } } final Representation representation = new StringRepresentation("Test " + formsb.toString(), MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN); final Response response = getResponse(); response.setStatus(Status.SUCCESS_OK); return representation; } Cliff Binstock Coyote Reporting
