how to get multiple input parameters

[Abdullah Shaikh <ab...@viithiisys.com>]

I am having a service, which expects "names" parameter as a List. So in my
html form I have mutliple text field as "names".

How do I get multiple values, I mean the values which we get if using
request.getParameterValues() ?

I tried looking into ofbiz code, I found that we can have fields named
"fieldname_o_N" to get multiple values, but when I use
UtilHttp.parseMultiFormData(parameters), the map is empty, but
UtilHttp.getMultiFormRowCount(request) returns the correct count.

Should I manually get the form data in a java event ?

Note - I am not using Form widgets.

I have tried having "names" as a List in service and passing multiple
"names" text field, ofbiz does create a "names" list, but then if I have
only a single "names" field then it throws a casting exception as in this
case it passes the "names" fields as a string which is correct.

I guess I need to write a java event, get the "names" field from request,
create a List manually and then pass it to the service.

Any suggestions ?
