Hi,
I'd like to make an ajax call as a POST, it's going to go to my servlet. I want to send parameterized data, like the following:
var mydata = 'param0=some_text¶m1=some_more_text';
I supply this as the 'data' parameter of my jquery ajax() call. So this should be inserted in the body of the POST, right? (I mean, not appended to my 'mysite/save' url?):
$.ajax({
url: 'mysite/save',
type: 'POST',
data: mydata
});
it appears to work correctly. In my servlet, I am just dumping all received parameters, and I see them all come through nicely:
private void printParams(HttpServletRequest req) {
Enumeration paramNames = req.getParameterNames();
while (paramNames.hasMoreElements()) {
// print each param key/val here.
}
}
also, I should url encode my data string manually before use, right? Like:
var mydata = 'param0=' + urlencode('hi there!');
mydata += '¶m1=' + urlencode('blah blah');
mydata += '%param2=' + urlencode('we get it');
Thanks!
