Hi there, Looking at the Servlet API, the behavior that you describe seems normal: http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletRequest.html#getParameter(java.lang.String)
If you call this method in your Servlet filter, it will consume the request input stream and the Restlet won't have a way to read it again. Can't you implement the same filter as a Restlet filter instead? Note that if you need the query parameters, then you can still call getResourceRef().getQueryAsForm(); Best regards, Jerome Louvel -- Restlet ~ Founder and Lead developer ~ http://www.restlet.org Noelios Technologies ~ Co-founder ~ http://www.noelios.com -----Message d'origine----- De : [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Envoye : samedi 10 janvier 2009 22:58 A : [email protected] Objet : Servlet Filter using request.getParameter loses Form data We added servlet filter to our application which calls request.getParameter("name"). That breaks Restlet Form handling. request.getEntityAsForm() will return empty form. It seems that getParameter interferes with getInputStream in the case form data is sent using POST. To me this sounds to be a bug in Restlet framework. We are using Restlet 1.1.1. This simple filter will break getEntityAsForm: public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException { request.getParameter("name"); chain.doFilter(request, response); } ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=1015889 ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=1022941
