how to get param in method post spring mvc?

I'm using spring mvc. And I can't get param from url when method = post. But when I change method to GET, so I can get all param.

This is my form:

<form method="POST" action="http://localhost:8080/cms/customer/create_customer" id="frmRegister" name ="frmRegister" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input class ="iptRegister" type="text" id="txtEmail" name="txtEmail" value="" />
    <input class ="iptRegister" type="password" id="txtPassword" name="txtPassword" value="" />
    <input class ="iptRegister" type="text" id="txtPhone" name="txtPhone" value="" />

    <input type="button" id="btnRegister" name="btnRegister" value="Register" onclick="" style="cursor:pointer"/>
</form>

This is my controller:

@RequestMapping(value= "/create_customer", method = RequestMethod.POST)
@ResponseBody
public String createCustomer(HttpServletRequest request, 
        @RequestParam(value="txtEmail", required=false) String email, 
        @RequestParam(value="txtPassword", required=false) String password, 
        @RequestParam(value="txtPhone", required=false) String phone){

    ResultDTO<String> rs = new ResultDTO<String>();
    rs.setStatus(IConfig.SHOW_RESULT_SUCCESS_ON_MAIN_SCREEN);
    try{
        Customer c = new Customer();
        c.setEmail(email);
        c.setPassword(password);
        c.setPhone(phone);
        customerService.insert(c);
        rs.setData("Insert success");
    }catch(Exception ex){
        log.error(ex);
        rs.setStatus(IConfig.SHOW_RESULT_ERROR_ON_MAIN_SCREEN);
        rs.setData("Insert failure");
    }
    return rs.toString();
}

How can I resolved this?


  1. Spring annotations will work fine if you remove enctype="multipart/form-data".

    @RequestParam(value="txtEmail", required=false)
    
  2. You can even get the parameters from the request object .

    request.getParameter(paramName);
    
  3. Use a form in case the number of attributes are large. It will be convenient. Tutorial to get you started.

  4. Configure the Multi-part resolver if you want to receive enctype="multipart/form-data".

    <bean id="multipartResolver"
      class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">
        <property name="maxUploadSize" value="250000"/>
    </bean>
    

Refer the Spring documentation.


It also works if you change the content type

    <form method="POST"
    action="http://localhost:8080/cms/customer/create_customer"
    id="frmRegister" name="frmRegister"
    enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">

In the controller also add the header value as follows:

    @RequestMapping(value = "/create_customer", method = RequestMethod.POST, headers = "Content-Type=application/x-www-form-urlencoded")

When I want to get all the POST params I am using the code below,

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ViewForResponseClass update(@RequestBody AClass anObject) {
    // Source..
}

I am using the @RequestBody annotation for post/put/delete http requests instead of the @RequestParam which reads the GET parameters.
