  1. POPlay form binding difficulties - How do I modify a request after getting it in the backend?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm currently trying to connect an Extjs form to a Play! Scala backend. </p> <p>I have no problem receiving the request, but</p> <p><code>FormName.bindFromRequest.get</code> returns to me <code>None</code> .</p> <p>I'm able to find the data generated via submitting from Extjs in the POST request in <code>request.request.body.data</code> (the first request object is generated by SocialSecure's controller), whereas normally the data bound to the form would be found in <code>request.request.body.data.elems</code></p> <p>I think Extjs's eschewal of using <code>&lt;form&gt;</code> in their inserted HTML is what causes me this problem, but I'd still like to take advantage of Extjs's nice form verification UI. </p> <p><strong>Does Play! or Scala have any resources for modifying a request after the server has received it?</strong> <br><br></p> <h1>More info</h1> <p>This is the method my <code>/requestAudit</code> cuurently points to after a POST request:</p> <pre><code>def requestAudit = SecuredAction(WithProvider("google")) { // SecureSocial syntax implicit request =&gt; { // let's call this line 0' println(request.request.body.asFormUrlEncoded) // let's call this line 1' println(request.body.asText) // let's call this line 2' newAuditForm.bindFromRequest.fold( errors =&gt; BadRequest(views.html.error(newAuditForm)) success =&gt; { /*insert the object into my db*/ } ) } } </code></pre> <p><br></p> <h2>Ext.js request</h2> <p>When I'm debugging in Eclipse with an Ext.js form, the Variables window shows: (click for closeup) <a href="https://imgur.com/F1A9p7u" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/F1A9p7u.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com" /></a> where the form values are located in <code>request.body.data.key1</code>, <code>request.body.data.key2</code>, etc <br><br></p> <h2>Bootstrap form request</h2> <p>On the other hand, the request for Bootstrap has the values stored in <code>request.body.data.elems</code> <a href="https://imgur.com/ilXiMQ5" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ilXiMQ5.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com" /></a></p>
