How to access json data posted to a CF webservice

Hi All,

I have a ExtJS app that makes a call to a Coldfusion webservice and sends a json object as part of the POST request. In Firebug I can see the json object being posted but I can't seem to access it in Coldfusion.

Anyone know how or if this is possible?

Thanks,

Orla

    Try using getHttpRequestData().content

    <cfset myData = deserializeJSON(getHttpRequestData().content) />

    <cfdump var="#myData#" />

    Thanks...

    The following is exactly what I need as I want to keep the json to pass on to a java webservice call:

    <cfset requestJson = toString(getHttpRequestData().content)>

    How are you performing your web service call using AJAX?  Are you sure you are really posting the data and not sending the data in the URL scope?
