unable to get hidden item value on the server side program


DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
HiddenItem item = new HiddenItem("FileName");
item.setValue(csvOutput);
form.setFields(item);
form.setCanSubmit(true);
form.setMethod(FormMethod.POST);
form.setAction(GWT.getHostPageBaseURL() + "DownloadServlet");
form.submitForm();


Server Code

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
System.out.pritnln(request.getParameter("FileName"));

}


The value of the FileName whcih is a HiddenItem is never getting passed.Please let us know how to pass a value. We are not intrested in using a query String.

Don't create a form if all you want to do is submit a POST to a URL. Use the RPCManager instead.

Hi

I read through the documentation and wrote something similar to the original poster.

Isomorphic, why doesn't posting data via a dynamicForm.submitForm work? There is nothing in the documentation that suggests posting using this method is a bad idea. Can you elaborate please?

Thanks
KC
