Saturnian :
So I have a Java API and I use cURL commands to send GET/POST requests to my API. I'm using Springboot in my Java API. My cURL command looks like this:
curl -X POST \
https://localhost:8443/abc/code/v \
-H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
-F file=@/path/to/file.txt
and my Java Springboot method that receives this request looks like this:
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/{code}/{v}")
public ResponseEntity<Object> uploadTemplate( //
@ApiParam(value = "code desc") //
@PathVariable final String code, //
@ApiParam(value = "v desc") //
@PathVariable final String v, //
@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file
) throws IOException {
//log.info("received [url: /tabc/" + code + "/" + v + ", method: POST");
System.out.println("file: "+ file.getName());
}
which prints out "file: file"
It doesn't look like file.txt is uploaded to the server at all! What am I doing wrong? I've looked up on Google but it looks like I'm doing nearly everything.
Marco R. :
The MultipartFile.getName returns the name of the parameter in the multipart form.
To get the bytes of the MultipartFile use file.getBytes()
And if your MultipartFile is a text file you could use this utility method to retrieve a list of the lines in that text file:
public List<String> read(MultipartFile file) throws IOException {
InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(file.getInputStream());
try (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(in)) {
return reader.lines().collect(Collectors.toList());
}
}
