JSR311, @FormParam…Parameters

When you submit a form request with HTML, you often require the server could accept form parameters.

Demo projects:

1. Source Code

package up.god.micro.params;

import io.vertx.up.annotations.EndPoint;

import javax.ws.rs.FormParam;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;

@EndPoint
@Path("/api")
public class FormParamExecutor {

    @Path("param/form")
    @GET
    public String sayFormGet(
            @FormParam("username") final String username,
            @FormParam("password") final String password) {
        return "Hello: GET: " + username + ", your password is: " + password;
    }

    @Path("param/form")
    @POST
    public String sayFormPost(
            @FormParam("username") final String username,
            @FormParam("password") final String password) {
        return "Hello: Post: " + username + ", your password is: " + password;
    }
}

2. Console

Then you should see the logs in console as following:

......
[ ZERO ] ( 2 Event ) The endpoint up.god.micro.params.FormParamExecutor scanned 2 events of Event, \
    will be mounted to routing system.
......
[ ZERO ] ( Uri Register ) "/api/param/form" has been deployed by ZeroHttpAgent, Options = Route... \
    order:5000000 methods:[POST]]@1781967506.
[ ZERO ] ( Uri Register ) "/api/param/form" has been deployed by ZeroHttpAgent, Options = Route... \
    order:5000000 methods:[GET]]@570377242.
......

3. Testing

Be sure you will send form request instead of restful request here.

3.1. Get Request

You should write some static HTML form to submit Form Get Request instead of some tools because most of testing tools do not support send Form Get Request

3.2. Post Request

URI: http://localhost:6083/api/param/form

Method: POST

Here we provide form request screen shot with Postman tool

You should get response as following.

Response:

{
    "data": "Hello: Post: Lang, your password is: 11111111"
}

4. Summary

From above screen shot you’ll see form-data and x-www-form-urlencoded both, for zero system it’s the same because zero system will decode the data automatically, don’t wrong about form request type when you are using zero system.
