RequestParameter from AbstractResource

[frer]

Hi,

I'm trying to access a request parameter from my resource but don't know how...

here is an example of url:

http://localhost:8080/seam/resource/importation?startDate=2009-01-01&endDate=2009-01-31

and here is my code:

@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Name("importationResource")
@BypassInterceptors
public class ImportationResource extends AbstractResource {

    @Override
    public String getResourcePath() {
        return "/importation";
    }
    
    @RequestParameter 
    String startDate;
    
    @RequestParameter 
    String endDate;

    @Override
    public void getResource(final HttpServletRequest request, final HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {

        new ContextualHttpServletRequest(request) {
            @Override
            public void process() throws IOException {
                doWork(request, response);
            }
        }.run();
    }

    private void doWork(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
        try {
            ImportationAction importation = (ImportationAction) Component.getInstance(ImportationActionImpl.class);
            
            Date startDateValue = startDate != null ? DateManipulations.getInstance().ISO_DATE_FORMAT.parse(startDate) : null;
            Date endDateValue = endDate != null ? DateManipulations.getInstance().ISO_DATE_FORMAT.parse(endDate) : null;
            importation.importDailyData(startDateValue, endDateValue);
            
            response.getWriter().write("Ok");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            try {
                e.printStackTrace(response.getWriter());
            } catch (IOException e1) {
                //Do nothing
            }
        }
    }
}

Unfortunately, when I debug I notice that startDate and endDate are always null.  How can I get them otherwise?

Thanks,

François

Anyone?

Maybe there's a way to get them from the servletcontext but I can't seem to figure out how.

Thank you

Did you try to assign the values from *.page.xml to entities like:

<param name="startDate" value="#{importationResource.startDate}"/>

but probably you must remove @RequestParameter and define a getter and setter for this fields.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.  Unfortunately, I don't have a graphical interface for this Resource (therefore I don't have a page).  I simply want to have a callable url with the known parameters.

Unless it is possible to define a page without a view-id?

Finally I solved this by moving the @RequestParameter to my Action that was called by the resource.

The action was able to read those parameters.

Thanks for your help
