Thanks David.
It works with a little change.
I cannot do parse(new String(req.body, "UTF-8")) directly, because the
type of req.body is net.liftweb.util.Box[Array[Byte]]. So I did this:
var message = ""
for (i <- req.body) {
message = new String(i, "UTF-8")
}
val json = parse(message)
Is there an easier way to write this? I am quite new in scala yet.
Thanks,
GA
