POST data in template

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Stupid newbie question probably, but here it goes.

I have managed to AJAX load HTML into a dialog from a custom Share toolbar action with a GET request. But when I switch to POST (which I will need as I have to send a lot of data), I can no longer access the request parameters in the template.

The request looks like this:

Alfresco.util.Ajax.request(
{
   method: "POST",
   url: Alfresco.constants.PROXY_URI + "cadq/common/slingshot/doclib/action/order-form",
   dataObj:
   {
      printOrderRef: printOrderRef,
      printOrderFileName: printOrderFileName,
      htmlid: this.id
   },
   successCallback:
   {
      fn: this.onPrintOrderFormLoaded,
      scope: this
   },
   failureMessage: "Could not load Print Order Form template",
   execScripts: true
});
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and the template

<div id="${args.htmlid}-dialog" class="details">
   <div id="${args.htmlid}-title" class="hd">Utskriftsbest&auml;llning</div>
   <div class="bd">
      <p>Best&auml;llningsfil: ${args.printOrderFileName}</p>
      <form id="${args.htmlid}-form" action="#" method="post">
         <div class="bdft">
            <input type="button" id="${args.htmlid}-ok" value="OK" tabindex="6" />
            <input type="button" id="${args.htmlid}-cancel" value="Avbryt" tabindex="7" />
            <input type="hidden" id="printOrderRef" value="${args.printOrderRef}" />
         </div>
      </form>
   </div>
</div>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

when I run this I get

freemarker.core.InvalidReferenceException - Expression args.htmlid is undefined

So, how do I send and reference parameters with POST?

Answering myself, I have solved with a js controller. I changed the request to JSON and finally managed to extract the POST data with:

var jsonData = jsonUtils.toObject(requestbody.content);
model.htmlid = jsonData.htmlid;
model.printOrderRef = jsonData.printOrderRef;
model.printOrderFileName = jsonData.printOrderFileName;
