I am able to get the form data using the buffer handler, but it is a void function and I cannot return the form data values. Have about 4-7 forms total, I don't want to end up writing the same handler over and over because the default function is void.
html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>Login Page</title></head>
<body>
<a href="/activateUserPage">activate user</a>
<br/>
<a href="/login">log in</a>
<br/>
<form id='login' action='/login' method='post'>
<fieldset >
<legend>Login</legend>
<input type='hidden' name='submitted' id='submitted' value='1'/>
<label for='username' >UserName: </label>
<input type='text' name='username' id='username' maxlength="50"/>
<label for='password' >Password: </label>
<input type='password' name='password' id='password' maxlength="50"/>
<input type='submit' name='Submit' value='Submit' />
</fieldset>
</form>
</body>

Nowadays BodyHandler is provided by vertx, using it isExpectMultipart will be set to true and you will be able to read form attributes as
request.getFormAttribute("username");//to read input named username.
just add this line before your actual handler:
router.route().handler(BodyHandler.create());
For java this worked perfectly:
request.expectMultiPart(true);
request.endHandler(req->{
String text = request.formAttributes().get("bigtext");
//got it here
//do something ...
});
