Question

I am developing a java RESTful web application. In one web page in particular I have, among the other components, a drop-down list:

  <select name="source" id="source">
    <option uri="http://localhost:9091/project/test/source/database" name="database"   count="1">database</option>
    <option uri="http://localhost:9091/project/test1/source/report2" name="report2"   count="1">report2</option>
  </select>

I would like to obtain, after the post request, the uri of the option selected by the user.
To get all the parameters to the POST method I wrote this:

@POST
@Consumes(APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
public Response mapDBSource(@FormParam("project") URI projectId,
          @FormParam("source") URI sourceId, 
          @FormParam("dest_title") String destTitle,
          @FormParam("dest_graph_uri") URI targetGraph) throws WebApplicationException {
    Response response = null;

but the content of the URI Object SourceId is not the value of the uri, but just the name of the source. What is wrong with my code? How could I get the uri without showing it?
Thanks for your help.

Shouldn’t you use

 <option value="..."

instead of

 <option uri="..."
