HTTP Post parameter

Edit Subject

Try enabling debug or simply print out the MuleMessage to see what's going
on and what scopes properties are in. I have a feeling the lookup is wrong,
you should fetch values from the payload, which is a map now.

Check out the loanbroker-simple example bundled with Mule, it does something
very similar.

HTH,
Andrew
contentType="text/xml" method="POST">
use <http:body-to-parameter-map-transformer /> to have a map object to
access my parameters. But when in my custom transformer
ParameterMapToXmlString I try to access my parameters like this:
value i inserted in a html form.

Hi Andrew

thanks for replying.

Following your suggestion i printed out the mule message.

In case of post this was the output:
org.mule.DefaultMuleMessage
{
id=83a22990-8b3f-4622-a724-707daca64799

As you said my parameter is not in the inbouns scope of the message.

In case of GET the message is:

org.mule.DefaultMuleMessage

In the case the parameter is accessible in the inbound properties! (you can see it highlighted).

However, as you said, even in the case of POST is very easy to retreive the parameters as the payload is a MAP object.
