Hello Jason,
there is a huge difference between the entity contained by a request and its
URI. Actually, these notions are completely distinct.
When posting a Web form, the Web browser "concatenates" all input field's
names and values into a simple string of characters (it looks like a query)
and send this string in the body of the POST request.
In the Restlet framework, the following syntax: "public <return type>
accept(Form form) { [...] }" allows to describe a java method that is able
to handle requests having a body that is convertible to an instance of the
"Form" class.
This has nothing to do with the URI of the target resource.
Just attach the resource with its own URI.
Best regards,
Thierry Boileau
Thank you for the response! Another follow up question to this. When I route
> the URL to receive this form do I need to have an input variable? For
> example do I need to have something like this:
>
> route.attache("/Route/{inputvariabe}", newInstance.class)
>
> or do I just need to route to my class like this:
>
> route.attach("/Route", newInstance.class)
