I have a Controller like this and I want to submit a form with file uploading as well as some form data like label as shown below. Also, I want to do that using @RequestBody so I can use the @Valid annotation on the wrapper as more variables will be added.
public @ResponseBody WebResponse<Boolean> updateEUSettings(
final Locale locale,
@Validated @ModelAttribute final EUPSettingsWrapper endUserPortalSettingsWrapper) {
}
And my wrapper is:
public class EUPSettingsWrapper {
private String label;
private MultipartFile logo;
// getter , setters..etc...
}
But I would like to convert it into a @RequestBody from ModelAttributes.
The way I'm trying is by having the file upload separated as request parameter like this:
public @ResponseBody WebResponse<Boolean> updateEUSettings(
final Locale locale,
@Validated @RequestBody final EUPSettingsWrapper endUserPortalSettingsWrapper,
@RequestParam(value = "file1", required = true) final MultipartFile logo) {
endUserPortalSettingsWrapper.setLogo(logo);
// ...
}
In my mock MVC, I am setting:
getMockMvc().perform(fileUpload(uri).file(logo)
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.content(JSONUtils.toJSON(wrapper))
.contentType(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA))
.andExpect(status().isOk());
But I'm getting an error like this which says:
org.springframework.web.HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException: Content type 'multipart/form-data' not supported
Does anyone have a good idea of how Multipart file uploads can be used with @RequestBody? Anything I am doing wrong above?
You can actually simplify your life here since all you are doing is submitting a form that contains some fields and file.
You don't need @RequestBody for what you are trying to do. You can use regular Spring MVC features, so your controller method would look like:
@ResponseBody
public WebResponse<Boolean> updateEUSettings(
Locale locale,
@Valid EUPSettingsWrapper endUserPortalSettingsWrapper,
@RequestParam(value = "file1", required = true) MultipartFile logo
) {
}
The client that submits the request to this controller will need to have a form with enctype="multipart/form-data"
.
In your Spring MVC test you would write something like this:
getMockMvc().perform(fileUpload(uri).file("file1", "some-content".getBytes())
.param("someEuSettingsProperty", "someValue")
.param("someOtherEuSettingsProperty", "someOtherValue")
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.contentType(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA))
.andExpect(status().isOk());
Please add the following bean in your spring-servlet.xml to add the support for multipart request.
<bean id="multipartResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver" />
Also don't forget to add the dependency for commons-fileupload jar
I couldn't find a way to use @RequestBody.
However, you can do something like this:
@RequestMapping(value = "/uploadStuff", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public MyViewDto doStuff(@RequestPart("json") @Valid MyDto dto,
@RequestPart("file") MultipartFile file) { ... }
You can test it like this:
MockMultipartFile jsonFile = new MockMultipartFile("json", "",
"application/json", "{}".getBytes());
MockMultipartFile dataFile = new MockMultipartFile("file", "foo.zip", "application/octet-stream", bytes);
mockMvc.perform(fileUpload("/uploadStuff")
.file(dataFile)
.file(jsonFile))
.andExpect(status().isOk());
For Spring 4 and later you can do the following to get the full object:
public ResponseEntity<Object> upload(@Payload EUPSettingsWrapper wrapper) {
}
Note: Also should work without the tag
public ResponseEntity<Object> upload(EUPSettingsWrapper wrapper) {
}
I struggled a little with this and ended up passing as simple parameters. Fine if you don't have lots to pass in your request:
myMethod(@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile myFile,
@RequestParam("param1") Float param1, @RequestParam("param2") String param2 {}
