MultipartFormDataInput error when using java spring boot - spring

Question

I am using Angular 8 for front-end and Java Spring boot for back-end and on submit button the formdata along with a file attached in the form should post to the server. But I am getting an error at the backend when I click on the submit button as this-
2020-01-16 10:09:20.317 ERROR 4764 --- [nio-8080-exec-2] o.a.c.c.C.[.[.[/].[dispatcherServlet] : Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No primary or default constructor found for interface org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.providers.multipart.MultipartFormDataInput] with root cause
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.providers.multipart.MultipartFormDataInput.<init>()
Front-end code snippet:
createMaintenanceRequest(data: FormData): Observable<any> {
return this.http.post(this.MAINTENANCE_URL, data,{headers: this.HEADERS})
.map(this.extractData)
.catch(err => this.handleError(err));
}
Back-end code snippet:
#CrossOrigin(origins = "*")
#RequestMapping(value="/api/maintenance",method= RequestMethod.POST)
#ResponseBody
#Consumes(javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
public Response postMaintenanceRequest ( MultipartFormDataInput maintenanceData) throws IOException
{
System.out.println("postMaintenanceRequest - ENTER");
MaintenanceService maintenanceService = MaintenanceService.getInstance();
ServiceResponse serviceResponse = maintenanceService.createMaintenanceStory(maintenanceData);
Response response;
switch (serviceResponse.getServiceOutcome())
{
case SUCCESS:
JsonObject payload = new JsonObject();
JsonObject data = new JsonObject();
data.addProperty("url", serviceResponse.getStoryURL());
System.out.println("postIncident responding with story url: " + serviceResponse.getStoryURL());
payload.add("data", data);
response = Response.ok(payload.toString()).build();
break;
case INVALID_DATA:
response = Response.status(Response.Status.BAD_REQUEST).build();
break;
case RALLY_ERROR:
default:
response = Response.serverError().build();
break;
}

Answer 1

MultipartFormDataInput is resteasy (jboss) api and will not work with tomcat servlet container. Either use spring (as someone suggested) or use jersey one.

Answer 2

In spring change your controller method to
#RequestMapping(value="/api/maintenance",method= RequestMethod.POST
postMaintenanceRequest(#RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file) {
.....
.....
}
In your front be sure that you put the file like that
formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', myFileData);
If you don't have authorization data on your header, dont create a custom header, angular will do it for you
