        //photo service
            @Service
            public class PhotoService {
            
                @Autowired
                private PhotoRepository photoRepo;
            
                public Photo getPhoto(String id) {
                    return photoRepo.findById(id).get();
                }
            
                public String addPhoto(String title, MultipartFile file) throws IOException {
                    Photo photo = new Photo(title);
                    photo.setImage(new Binary(BsonBinarySubType.BINARY, file.getBytes()));
                    photo = photoRepo.insert(photo);
                    return photo.getId();
                }
            }

Photo and payee PostMapping should be in one ,dont know where to go with this part //add payee @PostMapping('/addPayee') public void insert(@RequestBody Payee payee){ this.payeeRepository.save(payee); }

        //add photo
             @PostMapping('/photos/add')
                public String addPhoto(@RequestBody Payee payee , @RequestParam("title") String title, @RequestParam("image") MultipartFile image, Model model)
                        throws IOException {
                    String id = photoService.addPhoto(title,image);
                    return id;
                }][1]][1]

Have a look into this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61343477/how-to-send-multipart-and-requestbody-together-in-spring-boot-2-x . When you send a file, you use `@RequestPart` to get it as shown in the image. You can't use `@RequestPart` and `@Request body` at the same time, to use `@RequestPart` for body too. — varman, Jul 22 '20 at 07:53

Figured it out in you model have image as binary and in youre controller have some like

@RequestMapping(value = "/update", method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = "multipart/form-data") public ResponseEntity update(@RequestPart("payee") @Valid Payee payee, @RequestPart("file") @Valid MultipartFile image) throws IOException { // routine to update a payee including image if (image != null) payee.setImage(new Binary(BsonBinarySubType.BINARY, image.getBytes())); Payee result = payeeRepository.save(payee); return ResponseEntity.ok().body(result); }
