I'm guessing it is because you are missing the name attributes on you're
inputs. You might want to try the following form:
<form action="/cluster-add.xqy" method="get" class="form-horizontal">
<fieldset style="border: 0px;">
<legend>Add cluster</legend>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="name">Name</label>
<div class="controls">
<input class="input-xlarge" id="name" name="name" type="text"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="id">Identifier</label>
<div class="controls">
<input class="input-xlarge" id="id" name="id"
style="font-family:monospace;" type="text"/>
</div>
</div>
<input type="hidden" id="aqt" name="apt" value="1"/>
<div class="form-actions">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Create</button>
<button type="reset" class="btn">Reset</button>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
Also, a best practice in web development is to not make updates on a GET
request. It is best to use POST for creating, PUT for updating, and DELETE
for deleting (Although I believe you have to make use of the
javascript XMLHttpRequest
or some other method for PUT and DELETE since most, if not all, browsers
don't currently support PUT and DELETE at the moment.) You can use
xdmp:get-request-method() to check which method the request is using.
