@FormParam can't be used with Multipart Forms
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-2717
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2717
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JAX-RS
    Affects Versions: 2.2.5
            Reporter: Andreas Sahlbach


In the JAX-RS documentation I've read the following:
{quote}
When handling complex multipart/form-data submissions (such as those containing 
files) MultipartBody (and Attachment) need to be used directly. In simpler 
cases, when every form part can be captured by String, the following code will 
suffice :

@POST
@Consumes("multipart/form-data")
public void addForm1(@FormParam("name") String title, @FormParam("id") Long id) 
throws Exception {
...
{quote}

This is either a bug in CXF or a misleading documentation (at least for 
slow-minded non-native speaker like me). The big difference between @FormParam 
and @Multipart is, that @FormParam _always_ expects url-encoded data. So 
sending "A+B" using Multipart in e.g. 8-bit encoding or binary encoding 
delivers "A B" to @FormData annotated Strings but "A+B" to @Multipart annotated 
Strings.
