<div class="block">Binds the value(s) of a form parameter contained within a request entity body to a resource method parameter. Values
are URL decoded unless this is disabled using the <a href="../../../jakarta/ws/rs/Encoded.html" title="annotation in jakarta.ws.rs"><code>Encoded</code></a> annotation. A default value can be specified using
the <a href="../../../jakarta/ws/rs/DefaultValue.html" title="annotation in jakarta.ws.rs"><code>DefaultValue</code></a> annotation. If the request entity body is absent or is an unsupported media type, the
default value is used.
The type <code>T</code> of the annotated parameter must either:
<ol>
<li>Be a primitive type</li>
<li>Have a constructor that accepts a single <code>String</code> argument</li>
<li>Have a static method named <code>valueOf</code> or <code>fromString</code> that accepts a single <code>String</code> argument
(see, for example, <code>Integer.valueOf(String)</code>)</li>
<li>Have a registered implementation of <a href="../../../jakarta/ws/rs/ext/ParamConverterProvider.html" title="interface in jakarta.ws.rs.ext"><code>ParamConverterProvider</code></a> JAX-RS extension SPI that
returns a <a href="../../../jakarta/ws/rs/ext/ParamConverter.html" title="interface in jakarta.ws.rs.ext"><code>ParamConverter</code></a> instance capable of a "from string" conversion for the type.</li>
<li>Be <code>List&lt;T&gt;</code>, <code>Set&lt;T&gt;</code> or <code>SortedSet&lt;T&gt;</code>, where <code>T</code> satisfies 2, 3 or 4 above. The
resulting collection is read-only.</li>
</ol>
<p>
If the type is not one of the collection types listed in 5 above and the form parameter is represented by multiple
values then the first value (lexically) of the parameter is used.
</p>
<p>
If this annotation is used to bind form parameters, a JAX-RS implementation MUST use the entity provider API
to create a <a href="../../../jakarta/ws/rs/core/Form.html" title="class in jakarta.ws.rs.core"><code>Form</code></a> and derive the values from this instance. If there is at least one
<a href="../../../jakarta/ws/rs/FormParam.html" title="annotation in jakarta.ws.rs"><code>FormParam</code></a> for a resource method, JAX-RS implementations MUST support a <a href="../../../jakarta/ws/rs/core/Form.html" title="class in jakarta.ws.rs.core"><code>Form</code></a>
entity parameter for the same method. Support for other entity parameter types is OPTIONAL.
</p>
<p>
Note that, whilst the annotation target permits use on fields and methods, this annotation is only required to be
supported on resource method parameters.
