Question

We are having this problem with a controller right now; the controller looks like this:

public class AccountsController:Controller {
    public ActionResult List(int? page, int? pageSize, string keywords) {...}
}

We are posting to this page via jquery:

$.post("/myapp/Accounts/List",
       {"page":0,"pageSize":10,"keywords":"asdf"}, 
       updategrid,
       "json");
...
function updategrid(result) {...}

Inside the action: Request.Form[“keywords”] == “asdf”, but keywords==”” and here I am at a loss. Why doesn’t keywords have the value we want?

quoting answer provided as comment from Mark Worth…

How is your controller being
instantiated? I had this problem and I
found that it was my
SpringControllerFactory creating my
controllers as singletons (and hence
was always using the values from the
first request). – Mark Worth May 19 at

That’s it! My controller was
registered as a singleton into my
Windsor container so my
WindsorControllerFactory returned a
singleton. – Bill Barry May 19 at
