Question

I\'m trying to accessing two http request parameters in a Java Servlet filter, nothing new here, but was surprised to find that the parameters have already been consumed! Be

I too had the same issue and I believe the code below is more simple and it is working for me,

public class MultiReadHttpServletRequest extends  HttpServletRequestWrapper {

 private String _body;

public MultiReadHttpServletRequest(HttpServletRequest request) throws IOException {
   super(request);
   _body = "";
   BufferedReader bufferedReader = request.getReader();           
   String line;
   while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null){
       _body += line;
   }
}

@Override
public ServletInputStream getInputStream() throws IOException {
   final ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(_body.getBytes());
   return new ServletInputStream() {
       public int read() throws IOException {
           return byteArrayInputStream.read();
       }
   };
}

@Override
public BufferedReader getReader() throws IOException {
   return new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(this.getInputStream()));
}
}

in the filter java class,

HttpServletRequest properRequest = ((HttpServletRequest) req);
MultiReadHttpServletRequest wrappedRequest = new MultiReadHttpServletRequest(properRequest);
req = wrappedRequest;
inputJson = IOUtils.toString(req.getReader());
System.out.println("body"+inputJson);
