Upload from mobile an image in java with ajax

Question

First of all, I don't use jQueryMobile.
I want to upload an image on a tomcat7 server.
In desktop-app it works fine, but when im going mobile, it will cause an error:

No signature of method: org.springframework.security.web.servletapi.HttpServlet3RequestFactory$Servlet3SecurityContextHolderAwareRequestWrapper.getFile() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [file]

This is my java-code:

// get the file to upload
def uploadFileInput = 'file'
MultipartFile sourceFile = request.getFile(uploadFileInput)

this is my ajax:

$.ajax( {
    url        : createLink( {controller: 'fileManager', action: 'upload', id: Location.params.id, params: {domain: Location.controller, profile: true}} ),
    data       : new FormData( form[0] ),
    cache      : false,
    contentType: false,
    processData: false,
    success    : function( data ) {
        [...]
    },
    error      : function() {
        console.log( 'Upload canceled with errors' )
   }
} );

this is my html:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="file" accept="jpg,png,gif" style="display: none">
</form>

Did I forget something?

it should NOT work that way at all, as the form does not contain the file content — injecteer, Nov 27 '14 at 10:50
`new FormData( form[0] )` doesn't deliver the file to be processed by `request.getFile( 'file' )`. You will get nothing — injecteer, Nov 27 '14 at 12:27
but on desktop I get a file... anyway.. what should I use instead? — Mephiztopheles, Nov 27 '14 at 12:36
not sure what you mean by "desktop", but there the file seems to be included into the request, what the `$.ajax()` is NOT doing — injecteer, Nov 27 '14 at 12:50
desktop is normal computer... desktop -> computer .. mobile -> mobilephone, android, ios.. on desktop and mobile im using same functions so what you see here is for desktop and mobile — Mephiztopheles, Nov 27 '14 at 12:55
