Can I use @Requestparam annotation for a Post request?

by

Well, I think the answer by @Synch is fundamentally wrong, and not the question being asked.

  1. First of all, I use @RequestParam in a lot of scenarios expecting either GET or POST HTTP messages and I’d like to say, that it works perfectly fine;
  2. POST Message’s data payload (body), which is referred to the most voted answer (again, by @Synch) is actually the text data, which can perfectly legally be paramname=paramvalue key-value mapping(s) alike (see POST Message Body types here);
  3. docs.spring.io, an official source for Spring Documentation, clearly states, that:

    In Spring MVC, “request parameters” map to query parameters, form
    data, and parts in multipart requests.

So, I think the answer is YES, you can use @RequestParam annotation with @Controller class’s method’s parameter, as long as that method is request-mapped by @RequestMapping and you don’t expect Object, this is perfectly legal and there’s nothing wrong with it.
