I wanted to upload an image to my Rest API through postman. I am using spring boot framework. Here is the screen shot:
I also have not set any any headers as I found in other stack overflow answers that it gives multipart boundary error.
Now, below is my controller code:
package com.practice.rest.assignment1.controller;import java.io.IOException;import java.util.List;import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;import org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile;import com.practice.rest.assignment1.model.Product;import com.practice.rest.assignment1.service.CatalogueService;import org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException;import org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException;import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;@RestController@RequestMapping("/CatalogueController/")public class CatalogueController{ @Autowired private CatalogueService catalogueService; @RequestMapping(value = "addProduct", method = RequestMethod.POST , consumes = "multipart/form-data") public Product addProduct(@RequestParam String productJson, @RequestParam MultipartFile file) throws JsonParseException, JsonMappingException, IOException { Product product = new ObjectMapper().readValue(productJson, Product.class); byte[] mediaBytes = file.getBytes(); product.setImage(mediaBytes); return catalogueService.saveInDb(product); }}
Now, I am taking a Product object which consists internally an image defined as byte[] array. I take this as string and image separately as Multipart file.
Below is my product class attributes defined :
private Long pId; private String model; private String brand; private byte[] image; // This is where I want the image to save private Long price; private String currency; private String transmissionType; private String fuelType;
Since , I am using spring boot , here is my Main class :
package com.practice.rest.assignment1;import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;@SpringBootApplicationpublic class App { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(App.class, args); }}
The error on postman I get is :
{"timestamp": 1478611635977,"status": 400,"error": "Bad Request","exception": "org.springframework.web.multipart.support.MissingServletRequestPartException","message": "Required request part 'file' is not present","path": "/CatalogueController/addProduct"}
Where am I wrong ?
