Don't worry about creating a formal unit test. Just a clean set of steps to reproduce. > - I'm hoping someone can point me to a tutorial or reference materials > for ESP.

While I'm sure you can get Sling to run within Eclipse, it doesn't seem that useful, at least for your use case. > - I was puzzled that PUT was the wrong method.

I will chase that down when I have sorted out the next point: There is probably something in the response or the log file (or both) indicating what the problem is. Like I said, if you'd prefer to use PUT, feel free to write your own servlet. It would not be appropriate to bind the Sling POST servlet to the PUT method as it is not idempotent. > - Assuming that there is a problem in my understanding in what is going > on, I reduced to the simplest thing that could wrong and produced the > following HTML page > > <html> > <head><title>Testing</title></head> > <body> > <form action="http://localhost:8080/newNode1"; method="post"> > <label for="name1">Name1</label> <input type="text" id="name1" > value="Value1" /><br /> > <label for="name2">Name3</label> <input type="text" id="name2" > value="Value2" /><br /> > <label for="name3">Name4</label> <input type="text" id="name3" > value="Value3" /><br /> > <label for="name4">Name5</label> <input type="text" id="name4" > value="Value4" /><br /> > <button>Submit</button> > </form> > </body> > </html> I think the problem is here that you aren't specifying the parameter names. use name="name1" instead of id="name1". Use something like Firebug to view the HTTP request sent to the server.
