I am working with the HttpExchange class, and want to use the getAttribute function to get the POST parameters. If i just call the function and print the results it works. But there has to be some better way to access the returned object and get the contained data.
The Manual is here: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/jre/api/net/httpserver/spec/com/sun/net/httpserver/HttpExchange.html#getAttribute%28java.lang.String%29
How can i access the Object? Which methods does it have?
I am not familiar with this API, but it appears that HttpExchange.getAttribute is not the method you would use to get POST parameters. Rather it is a mechanism for sharing information within a chain of Filters. Since you would implement the Filters, you would document and understand the attributes that can be stored.
To read the POST details, wouldn't you do HttpExchange.getRequestBody?
