Angular JS form POST to Jersey resource gives always null

Question

I want to execute a POST request from AngularJS to a Jersey REST server. This is the server code.

@POST
    @Path("/start")
    public Response start(@FormParam("name") String name) {
        System.out.println(name);
return Response.status(200).entity("Finished starting").build();
}

and this is the AngularJS code

$scope.submitForm = function() {
                    var url = 'http://localhost:8080/Server/config/start';

                    var request = $http({method: 'POST', url: url,
    params:{name: 'test'}});

                    request.success(
                        function() {
                            //alert('it succeeded');
                        }
                    );

                    request.error(
                        function() {
                           // alert('it didnt work');
                        }
                    );

                };

I receive the request on the server but the parameter name is always null. Is it possible to solve the problem without changing the way of receiving the parameter on the server side (the @FormParam)? When I try the REST resource with a REST client RESTClient in firefox everything works fine.

As I said the server receive the request and execute it, however I get an error on the AnularJS side, I don't know if it's related to the null problem, I think no because even if I change the a no-existing resource I get the same warning.

EDIT:

I solved the CORS issue but the received parameter is still null.
