The ability to start RAP application with HTTP POST request in no longer available after RAP 1.5. Please see the discussion at Eclipse Community Forums [1].

Steps to Reproduce: 
Reproduce the issue by sending a HTTP POST request with a test parameter from JMeter to the RAP mail template project.

Actual Results:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: STREAMED

I checked the new and noteworthy of R 2.3 M1 (https://www.eclipse.org/rap/noteworthy/2.3/?build=M1). Found the following there...

"Therefore we changed our policy and allow for RAP applications being accessed with a POST request again. However, please note that POST parameters sent with the initial request are not yet available to application code. "

Though I appreciate the change of policy, but I still need to find a way to pass the data in POST. The requirement is something like ...

1) the RAP web application needs to be integrated to a portal web application
2) the web application passes a authenication id to be verified by the RAP application
3) the RAP entrypoint should be able to do RWT.getRequest().getParameter("auth_id")

This is very important for my application, is there a workaround for this or is there a plan to fix this sooner. Help is greatly appreciated.
