Getting request payload from POST request in Java servlet

by

Simple answer:
Use getReader() to read the body of the request

More info:
There are two methods for reading the data in the body:

  1. getReader() returns a BufferedReader that will allow you to read the body of the request.

  2. getInputStream() returns a ServletInputStream if you need to read binary data.

Note from the docs: “[Either method] may be called to read the body, not both.”
