RESTFUL form processing
Locked
 
|
I'm trying to understand how to do form submissions to a restful web service in seaside. I've loaded up the restful support from seaside30addons added these packages to the standard downloaded seaside image: Seaside-Pharo-REST-Core-pmm.4.mcz Seaside-REST-Core-pmm.23.mcz Seaside-Tests-REST-Core-dkh.13.mcz I rand the test cases and they all run fine. My Html form looks like this: <html> <head> </head> <body> <FORM action="http://localhost:8080/rest-example/addUser" method="post">
<P> <LABEL for="firstname">First name: </LABEL> <INPUT type="text" id="firstname"><BR> <LABEL for="lastname">Last name: </LABEL>
<INPUT type="text" id="lastname"><BR> <LABEL for="email">email: </LABEL> <INPUT type="text" id="email"><BR>
<INPUT type="radio" name="sex" value="Male"> Male<BR> <INPUT type="radio" name="sex" value="Female"> Female<BR>
<INPUT type="submit" value="Send"> <INPUT type="reset"> </P> </FORM> </body> I enter data for each field in the form, set the radio box to "Male" and do the submit. I have a break point set in my method addUser
|aRequest postFields | <POST> <Path: '/addUser'>
<Consumes: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'> aRequest := self requestContext request.
postFields := aRequest postFields. self halt.
Transcript show: 'Got it'; cr. When inspected, postFields has exactly one element which is:
a WARequestFields('sex'->'Male') Inspect the body and I get: 'sex=Male' what happened to my form elements??? Tony _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

Have you tried adding name attributes?

I'm not sure how to go about adding named attributes to a method that processes a form submission.
But beyond that I guess what I'm curious about is why out of all the elements in the form, the only one that made it to self requestContext request. is the radiobutton. Why aren't the other entries there? Doesn't the request get parsed long before the REST classes get involved? Or am I missing something?

Ah, on closer examination of the form, I found my problem.
The elements have to have name attributes. Not Id this form, where each INPUT tag has a "name" attribute works perfectly. Tony <FORM action="http://localhost:8080/rest-example/addUser" method="post"> <P> <table> <tr> <td> <LABEL for="firstname">First name: </LABEL></td> <td> <INPUT type="text" name="firstname" ></td> </tr> <tr> <td><LABEL for="lastname">Last name: </LABEL></td> <td><INPUT type="text" name="lastname"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><LABEL for="email">email: </LABEL></td> <td><INPUT type="text" name="email"></td> </tr> <td> </td> <td><INPUT type="radio" name="sex" value="Male"> Male</td> <tr> <td> </td> <td><INPUT type="radio" name="sex" value="Female"> Female</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <INPUT type="submit" value="Send"> </td> <td><INPUT type="reset"></td> </tr> </table> </FORM> On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 3:52 PM, Tony Giaccone <[hidden email]> wrote: I'm not sure how to go about adding named attributes to a method that processes a form submission. _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

Yes, with a bit of investigation I had figured that out. It was obvious once I noticed that the name tag was missing.
Foolish on my part. Tony
