1. HTML Form
See a simple HTML form with "post" method.
<html>
<body>
 <h1>JAX-RS @FormQuery Testing</h1>
 
 <form action="doj/employee/add" method="post">
  <p>
   Employee Name : <input type="text" name="empname" />
  </p>
  <p>
   Employee Age : <input type="text" name="empage" />
  </p>
  <input type="submit" value="Add Employee" />
 </form>
 
</body>
</html>

 Example to use @FormParam to get above HTML form parameter values.
package com.dineshonjava.ws.rest;

import java.util.List;

import javax.ws.rs.DefaultValue;
import javax.ws.rs.FormParam;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.MatrixParam;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
import javax.ws.rs.QueryParam;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Context;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
import javax.ws.rs.core.UriInfo;

/**

 */
@Path("/employee")
public class EmployeeController {
 
 
 @POST
  @Path("/add")
  public Response addEmployee(
    @FormParam("empname") String empname,
    @FormParam("empage") int empage) {
  
   return Response.status(200)
    .entity("addEmployee is called, employee name : " + empname + ", employee age : " + empage)
    .build();
  
  }
}
