I am making a call to my web service that is wired up in roo to do a put. I am using the HiddenHttpMethodFilter in order to route the call to my PUT handler on the server side. My Put method service sides looks as such.
@RequestMapping(value = "/{chainId}", method = RequestMethod.PUT, headers = "Accept=application/json")
public ResponseEntity<String> updateUser(@PathVariable("chainId") String chainId, @RequestBody MultiValueMap<String, String> form) {
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.add("Content-Type", "application/json");
headers.add("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
Chain chain = Chain.findChain(chainId);
GymMember gymMember = new GymMember();
gymMember.setMembershipId(form.getFirst("membershipId"));
gymMember.setEmail(form.getFirst("email"));
gymMember.setEmail(form.getFirst("name"));
gymMember.setEmail(form.getFirst("age"));
gymMember.setEmail(form.getFirst("sex"));
gymMember.setChainId(chain);
if (gymMember.merge() == null) {
return new ResponseEntity<String>(headers, HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
}
return new ResponseEntity<String>(headers, HttpStatus.OK);
}
The calls to this method are landing here but the @RequestBody MultiValueMap form always has no data. It is represented as {} when I debug and look at its contents.
My calls can be seen here

I have read that you can't send form data using a put request per the HTML guidelines but I am not sure if this is correct. If you know of a way to make it so that spring roo can get that form data it would be much appreciated! Thanks!
