CXF 2.2 snapshot supports JSR311 1.0. So, you should be able to use @FormParam
in CXF restful resources.
A simple example of using @FormParam using JSR311 API.
@Path("/rest")
public class Resource {
@POST
@ConsumeMime(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
public String post(
@FormParam("a") String a,
@FormParam("b") String b) {
return a + b;
}
I am not sure whether CXF implementation supports a rest client api, but with
Jersey you could do like this.
WebResource r = Client.create().resource("/rest");
Form form = new Form();
form.add("a", "foo");
form.add("b", "bar");
String s = r.post(String.class, form);
You could have your resources implemented in CXF and probably use Jersey
Client. I have seen this working.
Other option could be to use multiparts. I have recently blogged[1] about using
MIME multiparts in a JAX-RS service, but it uses Jersey multipart API.
@FormParam processing in jersey-multipart is supported in the latest 1.0.2
snapshots, in case if you need this support.
