Description

yThe POST method in the TokenEndpoint class in the integration tests package is defined as follows:

@POST
@Consumes("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
@Produces("application/json")
public Response authorize(@Context HttpServletRequest request) throws OAuthSystemException

Now, the annotation @Consumes("application/x-www-form-urlencoded") is used to get the body of the POST parsed into the parameters of HttpServletRequest request. Sadly this does not work on Glassfish.
For similar problems see:

• http://jersey.576304.n2.nabble.com/Tomcat-Deployment-Vs-Jetty-Deployment-no-parameters-from-HttpServletRequest-td1516207.html
• http://cxf.547215.n5.nabble.com/POST-data-missing-in-Context-td4391121.html
• https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2993

What works is the following:

@POST
@Consumes("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
@Produces("application/json")
public Response token(MultivaluedMap<String, String> params) throws OAuthSystemException

Apache Oltu expects a HttpServletRequest to build a OAuthTokenRequest object out of it.
To workaround the problem I made a wrapper class: https://gist.github.com/dschuermann/5509667

I propose to allow other constructors with objects working in Glassfish. One could also report the bug upstream.
