Getting parameters from PUT HttpServletRequest? [duplicate]

Question

I have an HttpServlet that is trying to handle a PUT request, that has some form parameters (sent with a "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" header). I have the same setup working fine for POST, but for some reason a PUT request turns up emptywhen I ask for the parameters:

protected void doPut(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws {
   Map<String,String[]> params = req.getParameterMap();
   System.out.println(params.size());
}

the size of params is 0 even though I am passing parameters in.

Is there some other way to read params for a PUT request?
