The client side of GWT won't help you. The server side is the GWT RPC mechanism, and it won't help you a lot too. It depends of the server technology. If you're in a java world, best would be to rely on a servlet. They are indeed made to manage such things :-)
you would have something like that, with a "ManagePostServlet" : 1 : the submit : <form method="POST" action=" http://localhost:8888/servlet/ManagePostServlet<http://localhost:8888/com.startup.strhandle/strhandle.html> "> User Name <input name=l-name><br> <input type=hidden name=prefered value="tt"> </form> 2 : Handling the Post data public void doPost ( HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res ) throws ServletException, IOException { .. // Get the parameter. // store it in a context, or do what you want with it :-) req.getParameter("prefered"); .. 3: Redirect/Forward to a GWT page Once you've retrieved the post data, you can go to GWT page. Do a forward or a redirect (it depends of what your pages do... see http://www.javapractices.com/topic/TopicAction.do?Id=181 ) The servlet can store data in the session for example. Once you've reached a GWT page, you can use a classical GWT service (which is a servlet in fact...) to retrieve these data. 008/12/17 Yair Ohayon <[email protected]> > Great , that's exactly what i want to do. > How do i parse that parameters on the server ? > Maybe this example will clearify what i am searching for > some web site > ... > <form method="POST" action=" > http://localhost:8888/com.startup.strhandle/strhandle.html";> > User Name <input name=l-name><br> > <input type=hidden name=prefered value="tt"><br> > ... > Action is my gwt app , > After submitting , the browser display the strhandle.html and i want to > access the post params , in this example param "prefered". > > Is this impossible too ? > > > > > > On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 9:19 PM, Jason Essington < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> >> Correct, you cannot read the post parameters from the client, as they >> don't really exist. >> >> An HTTP post supplies the post parameters as the content of the >> request (server) and they are no longer available when the response is >> returned (client) >> >> you would have to parse the parameters on the server, and somehow >> embed them in your response. >> >> -jason >> >> On Dec 17, 2008, at 12:12 PM, Croc wrote: >> >> > >> > Someone please...? >> > >> > >> > On Dec 16, 10:40 pm, Croc <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi All, >> >> I am new to gwt and didn't find how to read post paramters in GWT >> >> App. >> >> meaning that i have an html page with uses some input fields (pure >> >> html 0 no java script) and this html is redirecting to my gwt app , i >> >> need to read those paramters on the GWT app and respond. >> >> >> >> I can readt the GET params by using >> >> Window.Location.getParameterMap(); >> >> >> >> but i can't seem to find a way to read POST . >> >> tries dictionary - but the html is with no scripts so it won't help >> >> me. >> >> anyone please? >> > > >> >> >> >> > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
