Retrieve request data

Controller class can easily access request data by just doing a static import of the ActionControl class in the controller.

import static com.scooterframework.web.controller.ActionControl.*;

The following methods are available. For convenience, all these methods start with p.

p(String)

//Get the value corresponding to a key -- this is mostly for http input tag
//(equivalent to request.getParameter(key) or request.getAttribute(key))
public static String p(String key);

pArray(String)

//Get a string array corresponding to a key -- this is used for select list or checkbox tag
public static String[] pArray(String key);

pBoolean(String)

//Get true or false corresponding to a key -- this is used for radio button tag
public static Boolean pBoolean(String key);

pDate(String)

//Get a date instance corresponding to a key -- this is used for date input tag
public static Date pDate(String key);

pDate(String, String)

//Get a date instance corresponding to a key -- this is used for date input tag
public static Date pDate(String key, String pattern);

pFile(String)

//Get an upload file corresponding to a key -- this is used for file upload
public static UploadFile pFile(String key);

pFiles()

//Get a list of upload files -- this is used for file upload
public static List pFiles();

You may take a look at the RegistrationController class in examples/greeting sample app to see how the above methods are used to parse data entry for a registration form.

For upload related example, it is in examples/uploadexample sample app.
