Upload file via rest service

Question

I want to upload files with a restservice. I found very much in the web, but still can't fix my problem. Maybe because I'am using Spring in the Rest service?! Here is my code:

HTML

<input type="button" value="Upload document" id="button">
<input id="fileToUpload" type="file">

JQUERY

jQuery("document").ready(function () {
    $("#button").on("click", function () {

          var fileInput= $('input[name="fileInput"]')[0].files[0]; 
          var data = new FormData();
          data.append('file', fileInput);
          $.ajax({
            url: '.../upload',
            type: 'POST',
            data: data,
            cache: false,
            contentType: false,
            processData: false,
            success: function(data){
                alert("successfully.");
            },
            error: function(data){
                alert("failed.");
            }
          });
    });
});

JAVA (RESTSERVICE)

@RequestMapping(value = "/upload", method = { RequestMethod.POST }, produces = { MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA_VALUE,
        MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED_VALUE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE })
public void uploadingFile(@RequestBody InputStream uploadedInputStream) throws IOException {
    System.out.println("uploadedInputStream: " + uploadedInputStream);
}

EXCEPTION

 Servlet.service() for servlet REST API Dispatcher threw exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Parameters processing failed.

Is my Rest service ok? Can't find my bug :(

<bean id="multipartResolver"
    class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">
    <property name="maxUploadSize" value="50000000" />
</bean>

SOLUTION

JAVA (RESTSERVICE)

    @RequestMapping(value = "/upload", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void uploadingFile(@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile uploadedInputStream) throws IOException {
    System.out.println("...the parameter binding works now");
}

JAVA (SPRING CONFIG)

@Bean
public static CommonsMultipartResolver multipartResolver() {
    CommonsMultipartResolver cmr = new CommonsMultipartResolver();
    cmr.setMaxUploadSize(50000000);
    return cmr;
}

(ALTERNATIVE - APPLICATION.XML)

    <bean id="multipartResolver" class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">
    <property name="maxUploadSize" value="50000000" />
   </bean>

Well, I change the parameter type in rest service to "MultipartFile" instead "InputStream" and in jQuery the content type to "multipart/form-data" instead of "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". The exception here is: "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Expected MultipartHttpServletRequest: is a MultipartResolver configured?" . Adding "" to application.xml didn't solve it... — Louisa, Mar 17 '16 at 10:21
thx I change it ... still have the same problem "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Expected MultipartHttpServletRequest: is a MultipartResolver configured?" — Louisa, Mar 17 '16 at 11:05

Your handler method should look like bellow:

@RequestMapping(value = "/upload", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void uploadingFile(MultipartHttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {

    Iterator<String> itr =  request.getFileNames();

    MultipartFile file = request.getFile(itr.next());
    System.out.println(file.getOriginalFilename() +" uploaded!");
}

Don't forget to add the following lines in your application context:

<mvc:annotation-driven />

<bean id="multipartResolver"
    class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">
    <property name="maxUploadSize" value="1048576"/>
</bean>

I change my method - but now I have the next Excption: "Expected MultipartHttpServletRequest: is a MultipartResolver configured?". In my application.xml I add: "" – Louisa Mar 17 '16 at 10:37
I adding both (in application-context and the library) but still the same error.... do you have another great idea? ;) – Louisa Mar 17 '16 at 10:47
it should work.. could you please add your application-context ? – nnunes10 Mar 17 '16 at 11:30
and if you are using Maven, please put your pom.xml. – nnunes10 Mar 17 '16 at 11:49
Furthermore, you need commons-io.jar ;) could you please try it? – nnunes10 Mar 17 '16 at 11:58
above you can see the application-context and an extract of the pom.xml. commons-io.jar is inside. – Louisa Mar 17 '16 at 12:20
Solve it with your help! The final error was that the logic of the application-context.xml is store in a Java-Class and not in the xml by itsself. – Louisa Mar 17 '16 at 12:58
