As per section SRV.3.1.1 of the Servlet spec. |
When client send xml message with Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded. if you do "request.getParameter("message")" first. then subsequent call request.getInportStream()return an empty inputStream (not null, just not data). Note: 1. If client set Content-Type: text/xml in request HTTP header, no problem. 2. If you do not do "request.getParameter("message")"; request.getInportStream() works. (can read the body data). 3. I understand the Content Type and client should not set "x-www-form-urlencoded" if they just send XML message in HTTP body. But, I still think it is bug. request.getInportStream() should be able to read the data in HTTP body regardless what Content Type is.
