I want to submit a form that has file attachment using Ext-JS to a JAX-RS service that is using Jackson to process the JSON.
The problem that i have is that the JSON data doesn't have a Content-Type and I don't know how to set it?
Currently the request body looks something like the following:
-----------------------------4664151417711
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="productBinary"; filename="new.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain
blah
-----------------------------4664151417711
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="myData"
{"MyData": [1,2,3] }
-----------------------------4664151417711--
All good, except that the JSON section doesn't have a Content-Type and therefore I can't get the JAX-RS service to deserialise the JSON into an object
The JAX-RS service is something like:
@POST
@Path("/submit")
@Consumes("mulitipart/form-data")
public String submit( MultipartBody body )
{
MyData myData = body.getAttachmentObject("myData",MyData.class);
return "done";
}
any ideas?
UPDATE:
seems that there is no 'nice' way of doing this, instead I found that i need to call the json deserializer directly.
ObjectMapper om = new ObjectMapper();
InputStream is = body.getAttachment("myData").getDataHandler().getInputStream()
MyData md = om.readValue(is,MyData.class);
