Hiding Request Parameters in PetClinic

[kermie5000]

Is there any way to prevent the parameters from being visible in the address bar in the petclinic application? I tried changing the form method to "POST", but they were still appended as query parameters. Is there any reason why GET doesn't need quotes around it?

Thanks!

<FORM method=GET action="<c:url value="/editPet.htm"/>" name="formEditPet<c:out value="${pet.id}"/>">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="petId" value="<c:out value="${pet.id}"/>"/>
<INPUT type="submit" value="Edit Pet"/>
</FORM>
<FORM method=GET action="<c:url value="/addVisit.htm"/>" name="formVisitPet<c:out value="${pet.id}"/>">

Try overriding AbstractFormController.isFormSubmission(HttpServle tRequest req).

This shouldn't happen. Maybe you changed it on the wrong form. This change will break the app. unless you do the override described above.

Browsers are forgiving. It should be there.
