How to get POST parameter in JAX-RS method?

Question

In a form submitted via POST, email is not a @QueryParam like in /[email protected].

If you submit your HTML form via POST, email is a @FormParam.

Edit:

This is a minimal JAX-RS Resource that can deal with your HTML form.

package rest;

import javax.ws.rs.FormParam;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

@Path("/console")
public class Console {

    @POST
    @Path("/sendemail")
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public Response sendEmail(@FormParam("email") String email) {
        System.out.println(email);
        return Response.ok("email=" + email).build();
    }
}

Just to note one small detail - every input value you want to submit as part of your form has to have "name" attribute.

<input type="text" id="email" name="email" />
