Status Code 415: No MessageBodyReader Found for multipart / form-data, FormDataMultiPart

Status Code 415: No MessageBodyReader Found for multipart / form-data, FormDataMultiPart

I'm having trouble sending multipart / form-data to the RESTful web service I created. I am trying to upload multimedia files (images, videos, audio) through the RESTful web service. I searched googled to find the best way to do this, and found that POSTing multipart / form-data is the best solution.

The problem is when I send some multipart / form-data data, I get this error message on my Tomcat server:

SEVERE MessageBodyReader not found for media type=multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryTg7uVLcYJ3lsBpQE, type=class org.glassfish.jersey.media.multipart.FormDataMultiPart, genericType=class org.glassfish.jersey.media.multipart.FormDataMultiPart.

I tried to find stackoverflow to find the answer, and the problem was that mimepull.jar was missing for many people. I checked that mimepull.jar was in my class, and that is true, so that is not a problem. At this moment I am stuck.

Here are my dependencies in my pom.xml:

<dependencies>

    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Here is the corresponding backend code that handles POST messages multipart / form-data:

@POST
@Path("media")
@Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response uploadFile(FormDataMultiPart form ) {

    FormDataBodyPart filePart = form.getField("file");
    ContentDisposition headerofFilePart = filePart.getContentDisposition();
    InputStream uploadedInputStream = filePart.getValueAs(InputStream.class);

    String uploadedFileLocation = "C:\\surveymedia\\media" + headerofFilePart.getFileName();

    try {
        saveFile(uploadedInputStream, uploadedFileLocation);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return Response.status(400).entity(e.getCause()).build();
    }

    String output = "File uploaded to: " + uploadedFileLocation;
    return Response.status(200).entity(output).build();
}

Finally, here is the test page that I did to verify that the files were sent to the server:

<html>
   <head>
      <title></title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <h1>File Upload with Jersey</h1>

      <form action="/rest/surveys/media" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

         <p>
            Select a file : <input type="file" name="file" size="45" />
         </p>

         <input type="submit" value="Upload It" />
      </form>
   </body>
</html>

Let me know if you need more information. Thank you in advance!

I encountered a similar problem when implementing a file loader through Jersey, so in the end I changed the approach a bit when the method parameters are InputStream and the FormDataContentDisposition object.

Here is an example; maybe this will work for you:

@POST
@Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
@Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
public Response uploadFile(
    @FormDataParam("file") InputStream uploadedInputStream,
    @FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail) throws Exception {

    String filename = fileDetail.getFileName();
    String uploadedFileLocation = "C:\\surveymedia\\media" + filename;
    try {
        saveFile(uploadedInputStream, uploadedFileLocation);
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        return Response.status(400).entity(e.getCause()).build();
    }

    String output = "File uploaded to: " + uploadedFileLocation;
    return Response.status(200).entity(output).build();
}
