Hey John, I ran across the same issue. During authorization, I pass post variables to an authorize method.. which means doing a getEntityAsForm(), which reads the input stream..
I'm not sure if it's a viable solution yet, but I read the content-type http header now, and only if it is application/x-www-form-urlencoded do I get the post vars. I don't think this will help in your case though.. It would be nice to be able to reset the input stream after reading it. -Tom On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 1:33 PM, Stephan Koops <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi John, > > if you want to create the entity as String, you have to read the String. > But if it is read, the data is read ... and no available in the Stream > anymore. > > best regards > Stephan > > John Prystash schrieb: > > Hey Everyone, I encountered this behavior and was wondering if it is > > intentional.
