Hi guys, I remember someone reporting a similar issue recently. It is due to a design choice in the Servlet API. The getParameter() method on ServletRequest does consume the input stream if there is a POSTed form (your case): http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletRequest.html#getParameter(java.lang.String)
>From my point of view, the only solution for you is to make sure you don't >rely on this getParameter() method. Couldn't you re-implement your Servlet filter as a Restlet filter? In Restlet, the getEntityAsForm() method can automatically cache the result form for reuse down the chain.

You can check this by accessing the servlet request via your own servlet adapter. Just add a new class that overrides "com.noelios.restlet.ext.servlet.ServerServlet " and update the web.xml file as follow: <servlet> <servlet-name>ServerServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>your class</servlet-class> </servlet> You will have access to the service(request, response), and then you can inspect the request object. Note that this may a be a bug from Restlet. Could you have a look at the servlet request object and tell us what happens? best regards, Thierry > We are using the restlet servlet adapter to integrate Restlet with Tomcat. > > We have a top level servlet filter which checks each request to see if: > > (1) it is a POST > (2) it contains a certain form parameter > > If either of these is not true, we simply forward the request-response pair > down the chain. > > The problem is that when we user HttpServletRequest.getParameter in the > servlet filter, it seems to modify the request somehow so that when we do a Request.getEntityAsForm (down in the Restlet layer), we get a blank form. > > Does anyone know why this might be occurring? > > Thanks a lot. > > ------------------------------------------------------ > http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=1136361 > > ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=1146225 ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=1149688
