Spring mvc: HTTP Status 400 - Required MultipartFi

Question

This is my controller:

@RequestMapping(value = "/admin/users/photo", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView editUser(@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file,
                             Principal principal) {
    // code never gets here
}

my mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml

<bean id="multipartResolver"
      class="org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardServletMultipartResolver">
</bean>

pom.xml:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.1</version>
    </dependency>

form itself:

<form action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}"
      method="POST"
      enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <input type="file"
        name="file"
        />
    <input type="submit" value="Добавить">
</form>

This is what browser says:

How to fix that?

Answer 1

You can try to use this

<bean id="multipartResolver" class="**org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver**" />

instead of

<bean id="multipartResolver"
      class="org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardServletMultipartResolver">

Answer 2

Servlet 3.0 specification.

StandardServletMultipartResolver is Standard implementation of the {@link MultipartResolver} interface
