Hi,

I am presently using cocoon with tomcat 5.0.19, and am occassionally
seeing the following problem:

I create a form, based upon various astronomical tools. Depending on the
chosen tool the form will have a number of parameter fields, which may
contain extremely long input values (references to locations of files on
a grid system for example). Once submitted the values are used in a
cocoon action.
I am starting to see a problem for a particular tool which has >20 input
parameters, each of which may be dozens of characters long. When this
occurs pressing the submit button has no effect as the form is never
submitted.
Before I go mad investigating this can anyone tell me if there is an
issue with URL lengths?


You should use POST to submit a form, not GET. GET tacks the parameters onto the URL, whereas POST includes the details within the body of the request. With POST, you can send as much info as you like.

Your resulting HTML should say something like <form method="post" action="yourpage">

Regards, Upayavira
