POST Request to upload multipart file in Spring Boot - spring

Question

I'm using spring boot, I need to upload a multipart file (jpg or png file). I need to send a (POST request to upload the multi part file using "postman"), can anyone provide a screen shot of "postman" of how to set it up to do that or tell me? Thanks.
method :
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/upload")
#ResponseBody
ResponseEntity<?> writeUserProfilePhoto(#PathVariable Long user, #RequestPart("file") MultipartFile file) throws Throwable {
byte bytesForProfilePhoto[] = FileCopyUtils.copyToByteArray(file.getInputStream()); //Return an InputStream to read the contents of the file from.
this.crmService.writeUserProfilePhoto(user, MediaType.parseMediaType(file.getContentType()),bytesForProfilePhoto);
HttpHeaders httpHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
URI uriOfPhoto = ServletUriComponentsBuilder.fromCurrentContextPath()
.pathSegment(("/users" + "/{user}" + "/photo").substring(1))
.buildAndExpand(Collections.singletonMap("user", user)).toUri();
httpHeaders.setLocation(uriOfPhoto);
return new ResponseEntity<>(httpHeaders, HttpStatus.CREATED);
}
and this is how I sent the POST request:
my configuration class:
#Configuration
#ConditionalOnClass({ Servlet.class, StandardServletMultipartResolver.class, MultipartConfigElement.class })
#ConditionalOnProperty(prefix = "multipart", name = "enabled", matchIfMissing = true)
#EnableConfigurationProperties(MultipartProperties.class)
public class MultipartAutoConfiguration {
#Autowired
private MultipartProperties multipartProperties = new MultipartProperties();
#Bean
#ConditionalOnMissingBean
public MultipartConfigElement multipartConfigElement() {
return this.multipartProperties.createMultipartConfig();
}
#Bean(name = DispatcherServlet.MULTIPART_RESOLVER_BEAN_NAME)
#ConditionalOnMissingBean(MultipartResolver.class)
public StandardServletMultipartResolver multipartResolver() {
return new StandardServletMultipartResolver();
}
}

Answer 1

The error in postman says
Required MultipartFile parameter 'file' is not present
The method signature looks fine defining file parameter:
ResponseEntity<?> writeUserProfilePhoto(
#PathVariable Long user, #RequestPart("file") MultipartFile file)
throws Throwable
The issue is that when using postman, you're using dog1 as the name of this parameter. Change it to file to match the expected parameter name for the multipart file.

#Override
public Response uploadImage(String token, MultipartFile file) {
long id=tokenUtil.decodeToken(token);
Optional<User> user=userRepo.findById(id);
if(!user.isPresent()) {
throw new UserException(-5, "User does not exists");
}
UUID uuid=UUID.randomUUID();
String uniqueUserId=uuid.toString();
try {
Files.copy(file.getInputStream(), fileLocation.resolve(uniqueUserId), StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
user.get().setProfilePic(uniqueUserId);
userRepo.save(user.get());
}catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
// TODO: handle exception
}
return ResponseHelper.statusResponse(200, "Profile Pic Uploaded Successfully");
}
