form data missing in Errai 3.0.0.CR1 JaxRS client

[steeveb]

Hi all,

I'm try to request my REST service with POST form parameters with Errai Jax RS client 3.0.0.CR1.

In debug mode, the arguments of the service method call are passed correctly, but the JaxRS proxy build a call with null parameters in input (that's what i receive on server side). Am i missing something to have my arguments serialized correctly?

Thanks,

Steeve

Hi Steeve,

It's hard to know what the issue might be having not seen any of your code. Are all of your parameter types are annotated with @Portable?

Hi Max,

It is really a simple service method :

@POST

@Path("login")

@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)

  boolean login(@FormParam("username") String username,@FormParam("password") String password);

On server side, the method is called but both parameters username and password are null

Hi Steeve,

Right now Errai JAX-RS does not support @FormParam. It was decided that this feature was not high priority since most submitted forms use either Strings or primitive types; so it didn't seem prudent to invest the effort in properly serializing @Portable objects through form parameters.

Cheers.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your answer. I understand your point and putting a form in substitution was the option i chose indeed.

I would like to suggest two things :

- it would be nice to throw an exception indicating that @FormParam is not managed.

- this kind of limitation should be in the documentation isn't it?

Regards,

Steeve

Any idea when this will be supported? There are very valid use cases for this functionality.

Currently we have no plans to add this feature. Most of our efforts are focused on upgrading our code-generation to use annotation processors.
