java - Unable to process parts as no multi-part configuration has been provided

Question

I wrote a simple controller for uploading files:

@RestEndpoint
public class ImageController {
    @Autowired
    GridFsTemplate mTemplate;

    @RequestMapping(value = "images", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public @ResponseBody String testPhoto(@RequestParam String name, @RequestParam String directory, @RequestParam MultipartFile file) throws IOException {

        if(!file.isEmpty()){
            final byte[] bytes = file.getBytes();
            InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
            mTemplate.store(inputStream, "name");

            return "uploaded photo";
        }

        return "failed";
    }

} 

@RestEndpoint annotation is:

@Target({ ElementType.TYPE })
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Controller
public @interface RestEndpoint
{
    String value() default "";
}

My ContextCOnfiguration class is:

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(
    basePackages = "com.questter.site",
    useDefaultFilters = false,
    includeFilters =
    @ComponentScan.Filter({RestEndpoint.class, RestEndpointAdvice.class})
)
public class RestServletContextConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
    @Bean
    public CommonsMultipartResolver multiPartResolver(){

        CommonsMultipartResolver resolver = new CommonsMultipartResolver();
        return resolver;
    }
...
}

public class Bootstrap implements WebApplicationInitializer
{

    @Override
    public void onStartup(ServletContext container) throws ServletException
    {
        container.getServletRegistration("default").addMapping("/resource/*");

        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext rootContext =
            new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        rootContext.register(RootContextConfiguration.class);
        container.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(rootContext));

        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext webContext =
            new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        webContext.register(WebServletContextConfiguration.class);
        ServletRegistration.Dynamic dispatcher = container.addServlet(
            "springWebDispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(webContext)
        );
        dispatcher.setLoadOnStartup(1);
        dispatcher.setMultipartConfig(new MultipartConfigElement(
            null, 20_971_520L, 41_943_040L, 512_000
        ));
        dispatcher.addMapping("/");

        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext restContext =
                new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        restContext.register(RestServletContextConfiguration.class);
        DispatcherServlet servlet = new DispatcherServlet(restContext);
        servlet.setDispatchOptionsRequest(true);
        dispatcher = container.addServlet(
                "springRestDispatcher", servlet
        );
        dispatcher.setLoadOnStartup(2);
        dispatcher.addMapping("/rest/*");

        rootContext.refresh();
        DbBootstrap dbBootstrap = rootContext.getBean(DbBootstrap.class);
        dbBootstrap.init();

    }


}

When perfoming a post request (using postman) i'm getting:

HTTP Status 500 - Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:Expected MultipartHttpServletRequest: is a MultipartResolver configured 

I've looked over some similar questions over stackoverflow but none of the answers helped me.

Spring version is: 4.0.4

Any help will be greatly appreciated (with a thumbs up of course).

Thanks

Answer 1

I don't know why they did this, but the MultipartResolver bean in the context needs to be named multipartResolver. Rename your @Bean method to

public CommonsMultipartResolver multipartResolver(){ // lowercase 'P'

Or give it the name explicitly

@Bean(name = "multipartResolver")
public CommonsMultipartResolver canBeCalledAnything(){
