Making POST requests with parameters in GWT

Question

I am trying to do a POST request with a set of parameters to a given URL. The problem I am having is that the POST request is made, but no parameters are passed.

Answer 1

This should already work - but when using POST, you'll have to read the submitted data differently in your Servlet (I assume, you're using Java on the server side?)

You could try it with a Servlet like this:

public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {

    @Override
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
                   throws ServletException, IOException {

        System.out.println(req.getReader().readLine());
    }
}

Of course, you can copy the contents of req.getReader() or req.getInputStream() to your own buffer or string etc.
